On issues, I'd put Iraq first and healthcare second. Lots of liberal and centrist white dudes voted for him because of those reasons.
But, as TM noted, historically high black turnout was a huge factor. I also think that McCain's strange reactions to the financial crisis (remember "suspend campaigning"?) combined with Obama's calm and seeming competence (I'm being generous with those who just thought it was the appearance of competence) in reacting to the events of September and October 2008.
