Interesting take, Chip. I also think Obama is going to have a problem on the other end of the spectrum - blue collar workers. It was these blue collars that kept Hillary alive for so long. If he cant get them on his side, he is finished.

Naturally, I would assume that in order to get them he would need Hillary's support and even verbal support may not be enough. Everyone is talkikng about a possible VP nod for Hillary but I cant imagine that will occur because then the focus on the White House will once again be on the Clinton's. Obama has to big of an ego for that.
