The chickens may be coming home to roost. Late-breakers for the incumbent, since we've had all year to watch if the economy's getting better and the alleged bipartisanism of Brown may be looking more attractive to voters.

If Obama is beating Romney by +14, and Brown is drawing 12% of Obama voters, doesn't that mean that this race really is a tie?
