I think you all are making this a bigger deal than it is. While it would generally be advisable not to talk extensively about politics during recruitment, I'd be honestly shocked if the chapters at Ole Miss didn't already have some political mix. Obama supporters are likely a small and maybe quiet minority in some, but this campus has 200+ member chapters. I doubt working for Obama is going to be regarded as a big negative.
He's the candidate for President of a major US party. Theoretically, the people the OP asked for recs are adults. What adult person would no rec someone or cut an otherwise well-qualified PNM for being of a member of a different mainstream political party or supporting a different candidate? I know it's Mississippi, but come on. If you don't have more faith in the membership standards of your organization and it's members, we've really got a big problem.
