President and Vice President of the United States
This election is about "change." But during the 2008 presidential campaign this word has lost its impact. We on the University of Richmond campus have to find faith once again in "change" by voting on Nov. 4. When you vote, you will not only be voting for the next leader of our country, but you will be voting for senators, mayors, laws and other local ordinances. Especially for people who have registered in Virginia, we have laid out the ballot, its questions and information on each of the senatorial and mayoral candidates. We hope you take the information to make an impact on the local community for which you are a part.

In 1982, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley was poised to become the first African-American governor in history, leading his rival by 9 points or higher by some estimates. Come election day, he lost the race -- giving birth to the so-called Bradley Effect phenomenon. The question in 2008 is whether such an effect may be over-inflating Senator Obama's lead over John McCain in pre-election polls showing him leading by an average of 8 points. What historical trends and recent research on race as a factor--not to mention the record number of new registrations -- lead us to believe is that the Bradley Effect will not be a factor against Senator Obama in the outcome of this election. Furthermore, the so-called Facebook Effect may mean a net-gain for the Senator from Illinois.
