The Reverse Bradley Effect



My 85 year old mother just told me she early voted for "that one." Not unexpected since she almost always votes Democratic but she very much wanted to vote for Hillary. She was upset that she may never get a chance to vote for a woman for President in her lifetime. But she seemed very comfortable with her vote.

But if a pollster had asked her who she was going to vote for, she might have said undecided. There was nothing undecided about it.

Ohio Teacher Demands Privacy For Public Speech


The Really: Ohio teacher demands You Tube removal of comments she made to a blogger. Discovers internet is powerful.

An intrepid blogger (Blogger Interrupted) made a video of folks entering a Palin rally in Ohio. He asked if people really thought Obama was a terrorist. Some people stupidly responded. Now they want a "do over!"

One woman, who reportedly is a public school teacher, wants the video removed from You Tube! It invades her privacy!
Here is a lesson teach: public speech made willingly in a public place is public, not private. The camera was not hidden. It was in your face. Also, your comments were newsworthy.
