How would Gary Doer have done as a Federal politician?

I'm curious how people think our Premier would have done had he chosen to diverge into Federal politics at some point in his career (assuming the ship has sailed now with him being the big 60).
Like him or hate him, charisma and political savvy seem to be two qualities that he has down to a tee. From the sounds of it, he does his share of advising to Jack Layton in Ottawa.
How do you feel those qualities would haved translated onto the National scene if he were for example leading the NDP in stead of Layton? How much would the NDP's lack of success at the Federal level to date have hindered him?
