I agree with this assessment. When I talked to Obamamaniacs, all of whom were white, ranging from dippy Unitarians to independentd and moderate Republicans, I couldn't find any rational basis for their support of Obama. The most rational response I got was from a white female independent who actually compared the health care proposals of Clinton and Obama, but otherwise had nothing to offer except a hostility to Hillary.
The die is cast now, so there's no point in crying over spilt illusions, but I always thought Obamamania was dangerous and that the bubble would burst. That doesn't mean I expect a bourgeois politician to be anything other than that or that I am unwilling to support the most palatable of alternatives open to me, but I prefer to do it with my eyes open.
