Election that will be about 2 or 3% margins in terms of specific voting groups. you'll have hispanic groups in certain states. you'll have fewer voters, you'll have women voters, you'll have independent voters. that would be a very high margin. it would depend on where it is spread out, but i think again, this is not an issue right now. there is a reason why democrats are so excited about watching rick santorum. granted, rick santorum did connect better with white voters who president obama has had trouble with over the last several years in terms of reclosing the sale after doing well in 2008...
