I think people are voting for more than personality. They want a change, not in personality but in policy. McCain has promised more of the same -- more tax cuts for people who don't need them, more "free market" that isolates consumers from one another and makes it impossible for anyone to get a good deal, and more war which is killing our kids and economy.
Obama has promised to redistribute the tax burden, to regulate the markets more, and to get us out of war. Those are distinctly different from the status quo.

I think people are voting for Obama *in spite* of his race or youth or whatever ordinarily might set them on edge.
