This essay analyzes the presidential elections in United States, on 4th November 2008. It studies the historic origin of these elections and how the winner democratic Barack Obama got the -Bradley effect- not to be strong. This effect means white people think afroamericans are not so valid as caucasics to develop honest politics when they win elections.

El presente artículo analiza los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales celebradas en Estados Unidos el 4 de noviembre de 2008. Además de un estudio histórico de los antecedentes de estos relevantes comicios, se centra en cómo el candidato ganador ha logrado superar el denominado -efecto Bradley-, según el cual la desconfianza hacia el ejercicio del poder por parte de un afroamericano puede más que su propia valía.
