A nifty analysis over at fivethirtyeight shows that "A lot of the Democrats not for Obama are also not for Kay Hagan. Elizabeth Dole has a 41-37 lead among them. But they are for Walter Dalton, Roy Cooper, Janet Cowell, Beth Wood, Elaine Marshall, and other Democrats. Just more evidence that this is the persistent problem of folks who identify as Democrats overall casting their ballot one way for who they send to Raleigh and another way for why they send to Washington."
He also mentions that only about 4% of the people who will vote for Hagan will not vote for Obama, so there is very little apparent "sexism/racism" involved.
