I really don't see the appeal of Obama aside from the fact that he can give a good stump speech. Most of his platform is just adapted from other candidates, his immigration policy for example just McCain's proposal with his name on it, even though McCain was the one who took all the heat for it when it was on the floor, mostly from his own party. He also doesn't have the voting record to back up anything that he's talked about doing. Call me naive but I think there's a big difference between saying you're going to change something (like earmarks or pork barrel) and actually consistently voting against it for years.
As for other types of experience, I can't see how its even a contest. While McCain was a prisoner of war in Vietnam Obama was doing lines of coke and smoking weed in Hawaii. Again, call me old-fashioned but I would call things like that a reflection of character.
