I think Obama would have won against a credible challenger, but I've been very unimpressed by his Senate resume.

He doesn't do anything that doesn't play well in the media.

How did he manage to become so popular?

Mainly his convention speech, charisma, race and taking up John McCain-esque issues that look good on paper.

Being a sane Democrat from Illinois, I think even without the convention speech he would have won the race against a normal Republican (albeit not with 70% of the vote).

Obama's best VP choice would be Biden IMO. He's stong in Obama's weak areas and vice-versa. Of course we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Agreed. Bill Richardson would also be quite good, although I worry a bit about the Black/Hispanic combination.
