FrankS: Did Obama Suffer “Bradley effect”?

re: Did Obama's Supporters Lie? Explaining the dissonance between polls and results in New Hampshire/Mark Blumenthal and Charles Franklin

This is getting to be fun. Those of us who predicted Hillary's demise on the basis of the huge Obama poll surge should have been more mindful of the potential for the Bradley effect, which, if that's part of what happened here, will make any general-election polls with Obama atop the ticket a true nailbiter regardless of any assertions that he's ahead.
