In my opinion i dont think there will be a bradley effect on this election. i may be wrong, but ill tell you why i think racism will not play a mojor role in this election. for one, i have realized that the American people take their politics seriously. especially when it comes to the highest office in the land, i think that they will make an educated choice rather than a racist, uneducated choice. Also, one must analyze the times that the bradley effect took place, 1982. in my opinion, it was too soon for a black person to hold high office. today i dont see that as a problem because its a new generation. people today are open minded. also, who was president in 1982, and where was he from? that surley played and effect on the race. also, that election in 1982 was pretty close, unlike the 8 point margian separating mccain from obama.
Again, i may be wrong but that is my opinion.

I really hope that you are right in saying that the people are more open minded towards having a black president. We already knows this because of how Barack Obama won against Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Many newscasters are saying that people may get cold feet on election day, when they go into the voting booth- because of racism. Going along with what you said, I do think that people have changed a lot since 1982, and that they may be less uncertain about voting for an African American for president.
you cant speak for the whole country because we live in an open minded region where race isnt too important to us, but not all states are like that, but they slowly are becoming more openminded
