From the piece: "...the evidence is that Senator Obama is facing what scholars have dubbed 'racism without racists.' The racism is difficult to measure, but a careful survey completed last month by Stanford University, with The Associated Press and Yahoo, suggested that Mr. Obama’s support would be about six percentage points higher if he were white. That’s significant but surmountable."
