There's definitely a strong criticism/fear that Obama is the candidate of the rich/over-educated, ultra-liberal wing of the party, which is not entirely inaccurate given the voting demographics (the black community aside) in the earlier races, and for that matter, the lot of us.
That said, I think this is an increasingly inaccurate criticism given Obama's more recent performances, especially in Wisconsin, where he picked up votes among the working class.
Of course, how he'll deal with the Republican attack machine is anyone's guess. One of the major concerns many people had about an Obamam candidacy (and one I share) is his lack of time in front of the klieg-lights. But we'll see how it goes.
