Well, firstly because there's (clearly) been no evidence of a Bradley Effect in the voting - people have voted the way they said they would, in contrast to the way they did 25 years ago.
In other words, it's clear, from actual polling data, that Americans have become less racist over the past couple of decades, at least with regards to who they're prepared to vote for.
Actually, I think there's probably more sexism than racism in US politics at the moment - whilst Palin is indeed an idiot, some of the attacks on her (family, wardrobe etc.) did smack a bit of sexism to me.
Well yeah - what, you think an ugly person won't be at a disadvantage in an election, for example?
