I wasn’t old enough to care about politics, but I was under the impression that he was a law professor and just a junior senator before running, not a big shot?

He was the junior Senator for Illinois in his first term. He then became a rising star at the ‘04 DNC and decided to run for President while still being very green to national politics.
