Just like how venture capitalists pick CEOs for their portfolio companies, I put 'experience' and -track record of execution'

What is the reason for this Obama phenomenon? Why is it happening right now, at this moment of history? Is it because of his eloquent speeches? Is it because people in this country are so tired of the current reality that they want to depart from it as far as possible? Is it because of some of the strategic mistakes that Hilary made? As a web 2.0 guy who blogs on “Direct from Web 2.0”, I did not see this coming. In fact, my preferences were Mitt Romney from the republican side (maybe McCain too) and Hilary Clinton from the democrat side. I think the three of them (Mitt Romney, John McCain and Hilary Clinton) will do better in the oval office than other candidates. Just like how venture capitalists pick CEOs for their portfolio companies, I put “experience” and “track record of execution” very high in my assessment. If you are conducting a CEO search for your company, would you pick someone who just graduated from Harvard executive MBA, or someone who has been there, done that and has been doing that for the entire life? Oh well, I must admit my own failure of not seeing this Obama phenomenon coming at all. Just a little while ago, very few have heard of Obama and ever fewer took him seriously. In a very short time window, this new young “kid” (comparing to other candidates), rose to be the front runner with millions of enthusiastic young followers. With a rock star like status, Obama is well on the way to become the first black president in history. But what is the reason for this Obama phenomenon? Why is it happening now, not ten years ago or four years ago, but at this particular moment of history?
