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.
