If Obama ends up with a three point lead in the polls the day of the

who will say they are voting for Obama , but in the privacy of the
voting booth, will not because he is black.

I have not heard that the race was tightening, but I believe that Obama will need at least 5%. I suppose I think the percentage of 'votechangers' will be higher, mainly because senior citizens always turn out in higher percentages than young people and that 'I just can't vote for a black man' belief is more prevalent in the senior community than in other generations. He may need more than that if young people fail to show up to vote for Obama.
