Yes, I honestly think they would stand a decent chance and probably get elected. George Bush is doing his best to take the Republican Party down with him in a giant flaming ball. If Iraq continues to go poorly, I think any Democrat nominated stands a good chance of winning, minority or not. In fact, I would argue that this election is one of the few times that a woman or a minority candidate could reasonably be elected. On the other hand, if Iraq starts to turn around and Republicans can keep the scandals to a minimum, I don't know if the Democrats have anyone charismatic enough to pull in the South. Domestic issues will take a back seat at that point and the election will be more on "terror" and not on healthcare.
