And Harvard pundits from the College, the Kennedy School, the Law School, and the Institute of Politics said in e-mailed statements that this lead was unlikely to disappear when ballots were cast today. Government and African and African American Studies professor Jennifer L. Hochschild said, “Obama will win (no surprise!).” Cass R.
