Yes he does.
He has had more public service experience than he has been given credit for.
He started as a community activist in 1983, state senator (7 years) and now U.S. Senator for 2 years.
He has sponsored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427
While he was in the IL State Senate he crafted a bill that yielded over $100 million in tax cuts in a 3 year period. This makes him not fit the Republican label of the "tax and spend liberal".
Reviewing Obama's career in the Illinois Senate, a February 2007 article in the Washington Post noted his ability to work effectively with both Democrats and Republicans, and to build bipartisan coalitions. In his subsequent campaign for the U.S. Senate, Obama won the endorsement of the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police, whose officials cited his "longtime support of gun control measures and his willingness to negotiate compromises," despite his support for some bills that the police union had opposed
Here is a website that give you an insight into their stance on the issues.

I read his biography a couple of years ago. It was pretty impressive in terms of his being a 'true' Deomocrat. I think if Democrats will get out the vote, he stands a very good chance of winning.
I'm not a Democrat, but if I were, I would vote for him over Clinton. Once was enough.
Women who would vote for Hillary just because she's female, really scare me.

I have done enough research to know that I won't vote for him a vote for him would be a vote to bring a terrorist to the white house.....
