YA' THINK SO?:

Polls: White support for Obama at historic level (DAVID PAUL KUHN, 10/24/08, Politico)

Barack Obama, the first black major party nominee, is positioned to win the largest share of white voters of any Democrat in more than three decades, according to an exclusive Politico analysis of recent Gallup and Pew Research Center polling.

The most recent two weeks of Gallup polling, which includes roughly 13,000 interviews, show 44 percent of non-Hispanic white voters presently support Obama — the highest number for a Democrat since 47 percent of whites backed Jimmy Carter in 1976.

We'll have to see that to believe it even if John McCain never runs a Reverend Wright ad.
