Obama's Big Win

The Washington Post: Reports how the Media has elected Obama before the November 4th Election. As predicted in this blog, it can be postulated that the result will be as follows, Obama 53% - McCain 47%. I would suggest that the media wait till the election before getting ready for the Obama Inaugural Parties. Lets recall history, who recalls the Republicans winning in 1948 or the British Labour Party winning in 1992, the polls said they would win, and what happened President Truman won a second term and PM John Major won a fourth term for the Conservative Party. On the academic side am very interested if there is a Bradley Effect, it will clear up the issue once and for all, do voters lie to pollsters that they are going to vote for an African - American Candidate but then vote for the other candidate. Also the elite media should be careful, one thing that really annoys a voter is being told who has won, Obama is going to win but lets allow the voter to cast the ballot not the press.
