Reagan Democrats Redux

The Times ( UK ): Looks at the prospect that white working class Democrats, the backbone of the Reagan victories in 1980/84 might not be ready to vote for African - American Candidate. The article states the following, " Mr Obama may by unable to carry large industrial states with socially conservative white working-class populations simply because of his race. " Thus the article states that the Super Delegates, in smoked filled rooms, should put Hillary Clinton on the top of the ticket, when she has less delegates and less of the popular vote, Florida and Michigan do not count. and place Obama as VP. The article is seems afraid that Democracy will get in the way of the Democrats winning. My question why should Obama take the VP spot when by votes he should be the nominee.
