It is offensive to Obama as an individual, but these people actually do hate Obama as an individual, so that's not surprising.
There's plenty of conservative majority areas outside the South. I'll try to list them:
Iowa
And of course, around every major city there tends to be a suburban/exurban area that leans Republican. For example, the northwest suburbs of Boston, the eastern suburbs of Seattle, etc.
Democrats get by in elections by dominating the 1/3 of the population that lives in the cities themselves to the tune of 80-90% of the votes.
We're so conservative we voted for the Democratic presidential candidate every time since 1988 (excepting 2004, which confuses me).
We voted for Michael Dukakis. Iowa's not a conservative majority.
