Ken,

You're right.  It wasn't referred to as the Bradley Effect, but NPR was
talking about the same thing this morning.  I was also talking to a
colleague last week, who said his in-laws probably won't vote for Obama for
that reason, although they'd never admit it.  This guy has the same last
name as Palin's maiden name, so I asked him if there was any relation as an
initial report I read said her family came from his hometown.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
