Is it possible that Obama underperformed in NH because more people said they would vote for a black man than actually would? I doubt that was worth ten points, but it might have been something.
Notably, there was no such effect in Iowa, which was a public caucus. There'd be a stigma at a caucus for publicly saying you wouldn't vote for a black man. Behind the ballot booth, people can do what they want.
