My wife, who grew up in the Cleveland suburbs, just passed on a story of a definite pair of "reverse-Bradley-effect" voters from Ohio.
First the background: my mother-in-law (like my late father-in-law) is a dyed-in-the-wool devout liberal Catholic. She drives 35 minutes every day into downtown Cleveland to attend a mass at a poor, largely Black Catholic church. She proudly put up her Obama sign in her suburban neighborhood that was completely dominated by McCain signs. At her old suburban church (which she rarely attends now), she was constantly harassed by aggressive conservative Catholics who lectured her about voting "against God's will," etc.
She is friends with a couple of lifelong Republicans that she has known since college. My wife tells me that when she was growing up, this couple (especially the husband) would always loudly display their Republican loyalties and berate my in-laws for voting Democratic. The husband was a public school teacher (and a lousy, lazy one) who worked with my late father-in-law (an award-winning, workaholic teacher). This couple were straight up Reagan/BushI/BushII voters, Rush Limbaugh listeners, trickle-down Koolaid drinkers, etc.
At some point about a month ago, my mother-in-law made a $10 bet with the husband on the outcome of the election. When we spoke last night, she said to me (in an accent that I can only compare to "Mrs. Lupner" from the old SNL skits with Bill Murray and Gilda Radner)---"I can't wait to see that Bill Pickney [not his real name] and make him pay up! He's always been such a loudmouth Republican, I can't wait to throw President Obama in his face!"
Well tonight we found out that it ended in a way no one could have every suspected. My mother-in-law ran into the wife today and asked "so how are YOU feeling today?"---thinking the woman would be depressed and defeated. Instead she answered (completely unironically) "I'm absolutely great!" My mother-in-law asked "why? aren't you upset that Obama won?" The woman drew my mother-in-law closer and whispered in her ear "Don't tell anyone---especially at church, but I voted for Obama!"
Then came the final surprise. My mother-in-law said: "Well you just tell Bill to get out his ten bucks because I can't wait to see the look on his face when he hands it over to me!" The woman leaned in again and said: "you've got to swear to on Jesus' name that you will never tell a soul, but BILL VOTED FOR OBAMA TOO!"
And there you have it: a white Ohion man in his mid-60s, a man who had never voted for a single Democrat in his entire life, a guy who took pleasure in baiting and berating Democrats for decades voted for Obama, but doesn't want anyone to know.
And that, my friends, is a Buckeye Reverse-Bradley for 20 EVs, and the WIN!
