Dunno, flstf, charisma and competence go a long way. Obama's apparently got charisma to spare. I'm not sure about the competence yet. No one thought a funny name and an ethnic appearance was by itself enough to disqualify Michael Dukakis - he got the Democratic nomination. And if you recall, Colin Powell could have had the presidency pretty much for the asking 15 years ago, so I think a nontraditional black politician (a description that does fit Obama) has as good a shot as anyone.
I just think he's too untested. It's like asking for a rerun of Jimmy Carter or George W Bush.
