7. Not necessarily.
People who are committed to him will simply refuse to hear a negative. They are completely convinced that Hillary is every horrible scheming conniving monstrous thing that they've been told. She is clearly the anti-Christ.

The independents who lean to him will not necessarily be repulsed if they are already inclined to believe the Clintons would suddenly become racist before an important black vote. (BTW, have we finally abandoned the bulky and cumbersome African American? Or should I be writing AA instead of "black"? I can't keep up.)

Edwards people weren't voting for him anyway. And I suspect he may have written off the SC whites to Edwards. So in SC, he's got nothing to lose.

Nevada. He's got the Culinary Union. I don't know its makeup but I suspect it has a goodly Hispanic membership amongst other struggling minorities? How many of them have been called contemptuous names without being able to respond? They may all decide Obama is fighting for THEM instead of just his own political future.
