 None. 
1) I think you seriously overestimate the racism of the southern conservatives.
And B) Who else are they going to vote for? The gay-lovin' Dems? doubtful. That's like saying that Kerry lost the environment vote for not taking a stronger line against big oil. They may not have been happy with him, but they sure as hell voted for him.
