He is vulnerable to "pump faking" white voters

White voters have a discouraging tendency to say they will vote for black candidates, then do another thing when the poll curtains close.  Apparently, about five percent of poll respondents do this. This pattern has been seen over and over again in state-wide elections in the last twenty years: Tom Bradley in California, Doug Wilder in Virginia.  According to Earl Ofari Hutchinson on HuffPo,

"a 2006 study in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, a Yale political economist found that white Republicans are 25 percentage points more likely to cross over and vote for a white Democratic senatorial candidate against a black Republican foe."

The proverb says white people can't jump: the question for 2008 is will they pump fake Barack Obama into thinking he has more support than he really does?
