It's what I've been saying all along, it is just one minor reason why the polls can be wrong. Methodological errors, other polling bias (cell-only, weighting schemes), and ground game are all more reliable predictors for polling inaccuracy than a knee-jerk, inane, stupid devotion to the Bradley Effect. Lying to pollsters for any reason is a serious concern and a source of error, but to just "assume" that the actual result is about X more Republican than the results show just because Obama is on the flip side of the ticket is absurd and defies logic.
This is proof how bias interrupts analytical legitimacy.
