7. If Obama does well in the South with blacks, but not with whites, isn't this legitimate discussion?
If Obama is going to be the Democratic Nominee then race cannot be the 'third rail' that no one can touch. You can bet that the Repub Nominee will make it an issue.

I want Obama to win every state in the South if he gets the nomination, and I think his campaign needs to be addressing this issue now and not later in the General Election.

The same is true of Hillary. If her gender is an issue in the South, now is the time to address it --not later.
