28 Percent

Buried deep within the story buried deep within the N&O today on early voting is the most important number in this election: 28 percent.


That’s the African-American percentage of the turnout so far.


That’s eight points above what most polls assume black turnout will be.


That’s eight more points for Obama – and, potentially, the entire Democratic ticket.


That’s the making of an avalanche.
