Just an FYI - there was an almost identical issue in 2000 after the primary fight between Bush and McCain. At the time of the Republican Convention, something like 40% of McCain backers said they would not back Bush during the general election. That number shrunk considerably by the time of the general election, and, I would guess, the same thing will happen with Obama.
While I have no doubt that race plays some part, it could just be old-fashioned bitterness after a tough primary season. I also should point out that largely, I believe with you, in that I question those who switched parties because their candidate of choice didn't get the nomination.
