Good charismatic persona. Very charming for the media, but even more of a lightweight in political experience than Bush Jr was when he ran, and that isn't saying much.
His middle name is Hussein. Don't think that would matter much, only when piled on to other "problems" if they arise.
I don't believe the "black thing" is a factor. One of my picks would be Powell/Condi Rice. More brains and experience with those two.
Keep in mind though, my political opinions are not even sought about those running for the local dog catcher postion.
