1. My "Bradley effect" was that people, after eight years of a moron in the WH, wanted to put an
intelligent person in there. So, they voted for the smart one, ala Bill Bradley (Rhodes Scholar).

3. So true...
I was for Bradley in 2000 and he was/is an amazing person of great intellectual capacity. I hope he gets in the Obama administration in some capacity.

4. Actually it was the Palin effect
When people who supported McCain saw "Palin" by McCains name, they just couldnt pull that lever.

5. Not to rain on your parade but the Bradley is an aluminum can that people confuse with a tank.
It has a crappy 25mm gun (compared to the 120 or 155mm that most tanks have today) and it has crappy aluminum armor that really only stops small arms fire.

It is by NO MEANS a tank.

It is the Army's replacement armored personnel carrier that came out in the 1980's. (Go check out the movie "The Pentagon Wars") and it is really a terrible example of your tax dollars at waste and an insult to a fine general Omar N. Bradley.

Hey, what happened to Bill Bradley, anyway? I don't remember seeing or hearing much about him since 2000.
