I was able to solve this problem by changing the requests to GET instead of POST. See this issue for more information. https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/345

My data sources ended up looking like

datasources: {
  graphite: {
    type: 'graphite',
    url: window.location.protocol+"//"+window.location.hostname+":"+window.location.port+"/_graphite",
    default: true,
    render_method: 'GET'  
  },
},

I still haven't figured out how to get my graphite install to accept POST requests. Even when querying directly so I can be sure CORS isn't an issue.
