Racisim has nothing to do with the close polls.
Obama had a sizeable lead in every New Hampshire poll over Hillary in the primary - and would have landed a TKO that would have ended it early for Hillary.
He stunningly lost.
The black guy sometimes does much worse than the polls suggest in areas heavily populated with whites.
If Obama won New Hampshire - things would have been MUCH easier for him in the long run because the primary wouldn't have dragged on for as long as it did.
Obama will win in the end because of people like my mom. She claims she is voting for McCain because she "wanted Hillary bad" and "doesn't like something about Obama." that and he "isn't expierienced."
Females like her in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and even West Virgina will find their way to Obama in the final weeks when they start paying attention - and stop making gut feeling judgements of the person.
