Obama makes late push for black voters

As we roll into the final presidential debate, the polls show a very tight race. One thing they don't show, however, is how race is a factor in the election.

By my estimate, you have to build in a three- to five-point slip from the poll numbers for any black candidate on election day. To overcome the slip, you need to pump up the black vote by equal measure.

And that's not easy, because brothers and sisters aren't among the top turnout groups.

In 2008, Barack Obama was able to compensate for the slip and then some. You would have thought it was Nelson Mandela coming out of jail. This time it's not going to be that easy.

If Obama looks as if he's going black, he could turn off white people. So he's largely been lying low on the race issues - visibly pushing for the Latino vote, the gay vote, the women's vote, but not the black vote.

But last weekend, he held a conference call with a collection of black preachers that included his old pastor, Jeremiah Wright. He wanted to talk to them about getting out the vote.

there's still 15 days until the election.    some motivating factor will appear before then.

Like what, more Obamaphones?

Funny how Obama didn't quite have this problem in 2008.

I think I'll file this with all the other asinine claims you've made that can't be substantiated and never pan out.

Given how some of these polls have oversampled Democrats, he (Romney) might very well be up 12 points.

If I'm not mistaken, he's still up at least 5 in Gallup and over 50%, the mark at which no challenger has ever lost the election.

correct - but its 4 years later and obama has been a disaster!
