Florida and Colorado have officially flipped light blue (from yellow, or undecided) on Pollster's electoral map. Notice that Dem's currently have 296 electoral votes in their pocket, compared to only 163 in the Red. With only 79 left undecided (and Obama carries narrow leads for over 50 of those), things look very good for Dems this November. There of course is some chatter about the potential for the Bradley Effect (voters saying they'll vote for the Black candidate, but then voting for the white candidate in the voting booths) to bite him in the butt -- but I sincerely hope we've come a long way since 1982. If Obama wins (and I think he will, overwhelmingly) -- and his win resembles the polls -- then we need to drop the term from our political discourse. It's harmful to Black candidates by creating doubt and spinning fear.

UPDATE: New Hampshire and Ohio have flipped since I posted this message less than 12 hours ago! Check it out.
