Does Obama's win show US is colorblind?

"Whether Obama's appeal stretches beyond the farm fields of Iowa will become clear over the next month as the freshman senator faces a series of tests on different political terrain — beginning with Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire, another overwhelmingly white state."

The states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North and South Carolina and Tennessee are still ahead. The US south is the true test and I doubt the US is as colorblind as the Iowa vote would suggest.
