I think it was Orr's personality. He won the respect of the crowd. Orr was honest, to the point and seemed sincere about wanting to help Detroit.

Whether you are against having an EM or not is one issue, however there are FAR WORSE people I could think of for the EM job. Actually, after leaving the meeting I got the impression that Orr was probably the best person to have as an EM if you're going to have one.
