Today’s the Day Americans Have Their Piiiiic-nic
The Associated Press reports today on a poll that asked Americans which presidential candidate “they would most like to chat with at a Memorial Day picnic.”
Obama, the Democratic senator from Illinois, was chosen by 33 percent when grouped with three other Democrats. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., was second with 24 percent.
Notably, the article also points out that “more women overall chose Obama over Clinton.”
Leading the nation is no picnic, of course. But in a society where voters want to like their leaders on a personal level, results like this are exactly what you want to see.
