There appears to be a "fault line" between blacks and working-class whites, and it is presenting a problem for the Democratic Party, which if it had any goddamned sense would have kept John Edwards in the race.
He would have united all factions of the party. Now we have a real problem, and those officials who are supporting Obama, despite serious electability questions, are doing so because they are afraid of alienating black voters.
They would rather lose, and badly, than alienate a key base, a base that would NOT vote for McCain under any circumstances. That is not true with working-class whites.
