It started even before SC, but in SC they saw the writing on the wall and attempted to frame Obama as akin to Jesse Jackson, a politician that most white Americans view as decisive and a fringe minority figure. Why? Because in so doing they *could* reduce his appeal to the MAJORITY white vote in upcoming primaries. Obama had no reason to play "the race card"- AAs are only 13% of the country. He has to appeal to the majority and he damn well knew it.
