I agree about the chemistry, that's somewhat unknowable to us.
I think the race issue brings the south into play all by itself, look at the turnout for the SC democratic primary as an example.
I doubt that the Obama camp is that worried about the left side of the Democratic party. If Obama's the candidate, it's unlikely that they'll jump over the the Republicans.
It's my guess that Obama would be more likely to pick someone with a lot of foreign policy or economic expertise to counter the complaints about his inexperience. Edwards wouldn't really add much for him in that regard.
