He's black and won two elections on ideas they know resonate with the populace and have a good chance of working. They can't let that happen in their minds. That is especially so as the right wing portion of the GOP is who is running the party. There are plenty of center-right republicans...they just don't have a voice in the party right now. And as everyone saw with Romney if you are center-right going into the primaries you better be firmly right coming out of them if you want to win the nomination.
And people may roll their eyes at the first two words of this post but it is a very very very very real factor. That undercurrent is present and it guides people's thinking.
