Is it possible, that Obama's lead could evaporate on election day because of Bradley-Wilder effect? Or nowadays Americans are significantly less reluctant to vote for an African-American? Vote here – http://www.votetheday.com/america/secret-racism...

A better question is whether 2008 be the last year that the Republicans are considered relevant to the poltical process or will the media keep acting like they are relevant out of habit?

When you so completely screw up and discredit yourselves and your movement, it's time to start over.

Given the changing demographics of the U.S., the Democrats should be able to maintain a majority without any success in policy matters. When was the last time that a Democratic mayor was voted out of office due to poor performance?

I would be thrilled to discover at the end of this, the Bradley Factor turned out to be negligible. Wouldn't that be a great thing? We shall see…

As far as Obama coasting to victory, I'm pretty sure most D's would never use the word, “coast”, after recent elections. Even if he does win, it may take awhile to sink in.

And I agree with you Patrick, what exactly will the victor be “winning”? The contrast between what this president inherits compared to what the president of 2000 inherited is stark.
