At another panel at the Time Warner Summit, TechPresident co-founder Andrew Rasiej, talking with his fellow panelists about the recent coverage given to the Bradley Effect, made a prediction. "What we're going to see is the Obama Effect," he said: Obama over-performing because of people who secretly wanted to vote for him, but were afraid to say so.

The up coming "Obama Affect" might also have somethign to do with the 100,000's of fraudulent voters ACORN is putting on the voter rolls.
I'm so entertained at the ACORN bogeyman the right has created. First off, fraudulent registrations are being caught. That's why elections offices confirm registration information.
Second, even if someone manages to REGISTER a bogus voter, it's not voter fraud until someone actually casts a vote using that fraudulent registration. (Hint: Mickey Mouse can't vote, even if he's on a voter roll, which he's not.)
My prediction: Of the 1+ million voters registered by ACORN, fewer than 20 will be identified trying to vote illegally on election day. Those votes will appropriately get tossed out.
Net result: Zero voter fraud, but an excuse for a few nutcases on the right to claim Obama stole an election he's likely (as of today) to win by a million or more votes.
