The final day of campaigning takes place in America and Obama seems untouchable. The question remains will white America really vote a black man for presidency. When polled, saying you would vote for Obama and actually voting for him in the privacy of the ballot box seems to be Obama's only hurdle.
The shorthand phrase used to describe this is "the Bradley effect", after the failure of black candidate Tom Bradley to win the California governorship in 1984, even though late polls showed him ahead by seven points.
In 1989, another black politician, Douglas Wilder, won the Virginia governorship by just 0.4 per cent when polls had shown him leading by double digits.
First polls should close around 11.00 am Brisbane time and we may even know the result by 2.00 this arvo.
Good luck Barack.
