The race is definitley tightening and Team Obama realizes that their lead in New Hampshire was lost at the last moment to Hillary Clinton. Obama lost the New Hampshire race.

Then, there is the Bradley effect. Most pundits have implied that less than double digit leads in the polls may spell trouble for Obama on election day.

    the bradley effect may work for obama too, because his policies are better for middle class america . obamas message from the start has been the same which most americans want . so in the privacy of the election both i wouldn’t be surprise if alot of GOP supporters vote obama; esp voters like ‘joe the plumber’ who would have more money in his pocket at the end of the day.
