Obama is a problem for every Democrat in the South, because he is not popular with whites (and it has nothing to do with his race, it has more to do with his name, his heritage and some of the comments he made) so white contenders cannot associate themselves with him. At the same time, if white Democratic candidates come out strongly against him, they face possible voter repraisals by black voters, whereas they wouldn't if this was a white candidate which was unacceptable to average white voters that all the local dems came out against.

This is going to be a very bad situation, that is my fear.
