Is it OK to call him “boy”?

It seems politically incorrect to call him “boy” since he is running for one of the highest offices in the land.
Yet that is exactly what Barack Obama did when he referred to Joe Biden following the debate. According to CBS News:
Barack Obama praised his running mate, and Pennsylvania native, Joe Biden today for performance at the debate, saying that the “Scranton boy done good.”
I wonder what the reaction would be if John McCain or Sarah Palin were to call somebody running for the highest office in the land “boy”?
