Well, look at the competition! Rocks are charismatic when you're so deprived. Add to that that he's articulate and actually notices that there are people other than rich white men in the country (so voters feel like there's a teeny-tiny personal connection and that they might matter for once) and you've got a winner. But it's sad to realize that your standards have lowered to the point where "not horrible" = "fantastic!"
