Rebecca Curtis on Obama, Hillary, and the 'Bradley Effect'

Tuesday August 19, 2008

She brings up some interesting issues with regard to race, gender, hidden prejudices, and past history - particularly Tom Bradley's run for governor of California in 1982, from which the 'Bradley Effect' draws its name.
