I think Obama is one of the best orators I've ever heard. He entered 
the six-way senate primary as an unknown, and ended up winning with 
over 50% of the vote, winning even all white districts where past 
support for black candidates would conceivably be spotty.  I think is 
true claim to fame is he speaks to a potentially large constituency 
that crosses existing racial, class, and hopefully party boundaries.
