Obama Too Honest To Win??

The following is part of a summary by NPR of a news piece they broadcast this morning:

"...........As the Pennsylvania primary approaches, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) appears to be cutting into Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-NY) once imposing lead in the state. Polls show Obama gaining ground — even with one of Clinton's strongest groups of supporters: younger, middle-class women who are rising through the professional ranks much the way that Clinton did. ........Carolyn Coleman, a hospital administrator, says it confirmed her view that Clinton would be a better general election candidate. "I read the quote in the newspaper. My first reaction was, 'Wow.' I can't believe that he actually said it. It's so insightful, and it's accurate," she says. Then, she realized that his opponents might take Obama's comment and spin it. And that, she says, is what concerns her about Obama: his honesty in a national campaign, where the Republicans are waiting to pounce." (end of summary)

My comments:
There's not a lot left to say about the future of America when intelligent, well-educated and successful citizens decide to NOT support a candidate because he is insightful, accurate and honest. We complain that our candidates pander to us, tell us what they think we want to hear. And, then, when they ARE honest (and in this case "accurate and insightful" also), we somehow decide that makes them unelectable. Keep this up, and we'll keep getting presidents like the one we have now, who few would describe as being either accurate or insightful.
