"could Obama's inability to pull away from John McCain really come down to his skin color?"
Yes, definitely! He didn't win the primary race! HRC lost it because of her inability to tell the truth and her complete mismanagement of her campaign.
The 18 million people who voted for her, voted for her primarily because she is white. All across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Obama is smart and deserving of the presidency but he won't get it because of the low-information, bigoted, rural vote.
The republicans know this and will use it to their advantage.
Maybe next time, but I think it will be a long time before another candidate, black or white, will have the courage and intelligence and strength that Obama has. It is a shame!
