I just think Kakashi is better at leading small teams in missions versus managing an entire village. It's true that he's strong and knows many techniques (they don't call him the Copy Ninja for nothing), but I'm not sure he has the discipline required to be Hokage. Shika lacks discipline as well, but he seems to have changed after Asuma's death. I just don't see Kakashi as hokage, he reminds me too much of Jiraiya - always getting distracted by "other" pursuits (Kakashi has Flirting Paradise, and Jiraiya is always peeping).
