5. GOP has to protect their Southern Strategy potential don't ya know.

Racists hate Obama but some probably see him as a person because his narrative is so well know. What the GOP probably doesn't want is for a whole bunch of african americans to be seen as people. That would punch a hole in the racists (be afraid of blacks) narrative the GOP is dependant on to use on their base.
