I have heard politcal professionals say that he needs to go into the polls 
wth at least a 6 point lead.  In the first "bradley effect", the day of the 
election, Bradley was up by 10 mpoints but lost by 2 points. 

 Who knows.   With this economic mess, they just want to punish "Bush" and 
since he is republican, the people want to punish republicans; that should, 
by default, give Obama the win..  I want to punish them all ...bobford
