The original Bradley effect was not even real either. It was a result of Bradley having bad pollsters. Demun(however you spell his name)'s pollsters were spot-on regarding his margin of victory.

George Deukmejian. He is the son of Armenian immigrants.

Also, part of the problem with the Bradley effect theory is that Bradley lost to an Armenian.  And the jury's still pretty much out as to whether or not Armenians are "white."

I think the only way that results could be skewed because of his ancestry is through his name, and I don't think that made a difference.
