OK, lads and lasses, things are far from totally rosey, but comprehensive poll data does seem to suggest that Obama would win, albeit narrowly, were the election held today.
But...

I used to think the so-called "Bradley Effect" was a myth borne of the vacuous sophistry so common to the press. After all, it was a seeming bit of ass-covering for the fact that in one major city (L.A.), the polls and the pundits got it so wrong. And that election was years ago. Yet I now understand that Douglas Wilder also polled way ahead of his opponent in his race for the governership of VA, and only won in a squeaker. Until now I had consoled myself that any who would not vote for Obama simply because he's black... Well, let's just say I believed that any 'racism factor; already showed in the polls. Yet now I wonder.

Anyone care to weigh in?
