Other white Democrats who oppose Obama do so because, although they want change, Obama's platform is NOT the change they want. Obama's a very radical candidate within the Democratic party and I think many moderate to conservative Democrats have no reason to support him based on that alone.
OK, so tell me what part of Obama's platform you are talking about.
What radical ideas does Obama have that Hillary does not also have?
Someone already said it, but their positions on foreign policy are very different. Their domestic policies are very similar, but in an area of traditional Democratic weakness Obama's platform is far more Carteresque than Clinton's was.
Hillary voted for the war in Iraq and wasn't running on a flat out "As president I will pull the troops out ASAP" platform like Obama's. She may use Bush's blunders in Iraq to score political points off the Republicans but she also realizes that the Middle East is going to require a significant American military presence for the foreseeable future due to hostile leaders, terrorism, failed states, and the economic importance of the region (oil, and not just what they produce but also what passes through the Suez canal and straits of Hormuz. Shipping too.)
She's far less likely to do things like personally meet with leaders like Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong Il either. Ahmadinejad participated in the 1979 embassy hostage crisis (and messing with diplomats like that is tantamount to an act of war) and Obama thinks he can get him to drop the nuke program by giving him the prestige of a personal meeting with the POTUS? Obama's just going to give the Iranians carrot after carrot and wonder why they keep enriching Uranium and trying to build nukes. Same as giving a kid candy for being bad and wondering why they won't be good IMHO.
Consider also how much race politics Obama has in his career. Race/identity politics permeates his adult life, beginning with his days as a community organizer in Chicago, his wife's views (read her undergrad thesis from Princeton. I have and it's appalling both as a work of scholarship and as a part of her personal growth and development), where he derived his political support early in his career, where he went to church for 20 years, the way many of his supporters squelch debating his merits (or lack of them) by whipping out the race card, endorsement by Minister Farrakhan, the recent Jesse James comments, and whatever bubbles up in the coming months.
IMHO, Obama's very very VERY different from Clinton on the topics of foreign policy (weak as a newborn kitten) and racial politics (more toxic than the usual Democrat).
