I don't think that effect counts on a guy you have gotten used to for a while. And even though I disagree with most of Obama rhetoric, I think that much of what he did for the last 4 years (except for obamacare) was what most prez would have done. His rhetoric is way more toxic than his actions.

I strongly agree, GZ.

Whites have been strongly conditioned for decades not to say or think anything negative about Blacks and to only praise their misbehavior and crimes. If a Black thug breaks into a home during a Christmas party and murders an entire White family, White witnesses down the street will freeze up during media interviews, as they are torn between describing the horrific murders that they witnessed and the engrained "worse" horror of having to say that the murderer was a Black thug. It's truly sickening to witness.

So, of course, when a media clown or pollster interviews a White, he/she is often terrified of being perceived as a racist if he/she names the candidate of his/her own race, even if race isn't a factor at all in his/her decision. Very disturbing, but true. As you pointed out, the Bradley Effect is very real and it's much stronger today than years ago.

I don't doubt for a second that is true in some cases.

My level of respect for anyone who actually allows a candidate's skin color become a factor in voting, is pretty damn low.
