NPR's Juan Williams says that Sen. Barack Obama will need a five-to-eight point lead going into election day to win the presidency.
Williams, who also serves as a commentator for FOXNEWS, says that kind of polling lead will be needed to offset voters who will not vote for an African-American, no matter what they say to pollsters. FOX calls that the "Bradley Effect", named for LA Mayor Tom Bradley who led in the polls running for California governor but still lost on election day.
Current polls show Obama and Sen. John McCain running neck to neck.
Obama the candidate has made little reference to his two races. That has gained him favor. His supporters, however, are doing him little good in playing the race card now -- no matter if it is truthful or not.
