Tie race
It's pretty obvious why Obama isn't 15 points ahead. He's B-L-A-C-K!
Around 20 percent of the people in America would NEVER vote for a black candidate, no matter how qualified he is.
Thankfully that's changing, and America is getting over it, but...slowly...
I will predict however that when Obama runs for re-election in 2012 he'll face a far smaller obstacle in racism. Many of that diehard 20% block will have woken up and realized that the world didn't come to an end because a black man was elected President. In fact, things got better...
