15. voter turn out will be key
If you look at presidential election turnout, and you break it down by race, you see that minorities typically don't vote in large numbers. However, with the first serious black contender for president, I think the voter turnout could change the race in many many states. People who have never voted before will be lining up to vote for Barack.


For example: I live in Mass. We just elected out first black gov, and even though it was an absolute ROUT, and there was no way Attack-Ad Barbie was going to win, the voter turnout in black neighborhoods was off the charts. No one talks about this, but I think it could make a huge difference.
