Will the Obama "PC" Political Correct factor wear off on Election Day?

At the risk of being considered cynical, my first thoughts are to keep in mind the tried and proven "Errors" of Survey Research & Polls.  Historically, people tend to consistently give the "PC" response to the interviewer's questions during most political polls involving Black Candidates, but on Election Day these same respondents will vote mostly along racial lines. [Excuse me for not citing]

Now with all that said; Is the Obama Campaign positioning their candidate for a possible Secretary of State position?....Is the Democratic Party willing to risk a chance to retake the White House on the nomination of a "Clinton/Obama" ticket?...when a "Clinton/Edwards" ticket is easily accepted by all America...If our nation is attacked within our shores; Will Obama's Muslim name and heritage become a salient issues again?

OR

Will the Obama Campaign be able to turn out it's most energetic base [College age, Mostly white females, openly Liberal white males]?...this crowd has youth and lots of  passion.  They also seem to really identify with Obama and they like his looks & Style...

OR

Is Obama's Campaign reflecting the mood and move of American democracy?...
