Consider: Obama beat Hillary rather handily in the rural parts of Nevada.
The race thing is no big deal in SC. But if Slick Willie adopts the whole "Well, what could we do? All the black folks voted for him" line, it may resonate in other parts of the country. The picture of Obama in Iowa with a bevy of white supporters was immensely powerful, but those images may be fading from peoples' memories. If voters start thinking it's mostly blacks who support him, it will feed into the lone negative perception amongst some that he lacks substance. He needs to recapture his fading transcendency, and fast.
I don't disagree with you on that. And I am also not following the race as close as others, so I don;t know what is going on behind the scenes with push polls, unidentified fliers, phone calls, etc where a lot of the "disinformation: and stuff happens - but from what I have heard/read I don;t see Bill or Hillary saying things that tend to marginalize Barack as THE black candidate.
