If Obama loses the November election, he only lost because the United States is a racist country.

That will be the spin. Count on it.

There is one way I would take that bet. McCain should nominate a conservative black for VP. 'Course there isn't any such animal who has the kind of resume which would qualify him for the Republican presidential nomination - but in our republic the POTUS is analogous to a king, and the VP is analogous to a prince. Since presumptively the POTUS will serve out his term, the office of VP is basically ceremonial and the Constitution institutes an Affirmative Action criterion in the selection of the VP:
The Electors shall meet in their respective States and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves Twelfth Amendment
If McCain nominates a conventional white VP and wins, the cries of "racism" will be piteous to behold. But if McCain were to choose a black conservative, four things would happen:

Black voters would not be impressed, there is no case to be made that they would vote for a Republican ticket against a black Democrat running for POTUS. But

White voters who are seduced by the claims of white guilt would be liberated to vote for a black they could trust for VP rather than a black racist who they can't trust, for president. The potential market for votes which this would open up would compare with the number of black voters in the country. McCain wouldn't get them all, by any means - but at least he would get a hearing.

McCain's VP would, by virtue of being patriotic and moderate on race, stand as a rebuke to Obama's refusal to salute the flag and his expressed antiwhite sentiments. And even his thin resume would emphaize how very thin Obama's own resume is.

And when the ticket won, the story would not be only "black defeated by racism" but also "black wins VP position for the first time."

The bottom line would be that nomination by the Republicans of a black conservative would serve a unifying purpose for the country - which is the actual intent of the section of the Twelfth Amendment quoted above.
