are journalists...
Why would it raise troubling questions about white american's willingness to vote for a black man? What does that have to do with it? we are a conservate of center nation, and Obama is the most liberal politician every to run for president. It will just mean that the majority of undecideds voted Mccain. Obama's "almost sure thing" is less than a 5% margin in most of the battleground states, and its based on statistical models (in terms of % of voters of each type) that are new and different and leaning 4% more democrat than 2004. Its quite possible the assumptions of the polling were bad as all the journalistic groups other than fox seem to be trying as hard as they can to suck up to obamaAn Obama loss — or McCain comeback — would be a crushing disappointment for Democrats in a year tailor-made for the party. It would suggest McCain's experience trumped Obama's clarion call for change, and raise troubling questions about white Americans' willingness to vote for a black man.
Blacks, in particular, might be furious and deeply suspicious of an almost sure thing that slipped away.
