Negative Clinton

Via Media Matters:

...NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell referred to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finding that 39 percent of respondents said they "feel positive" toward Clinton on the issue of her "warmth and compassion," while 30 percent said they "feel negative." Saying that Clinton's "negatives are still so high on warmth and compassion," Mitchell asserted that Clinton "has to show some personality and some likability, because she really has to show that she's approachable and a little bit softer than she's been in the past."

Well, I guess that's reasonable, and, obviously, it is something candidates have to pay attention to, but I guess it's just disappointing that this kind of thing is so important to a campaign. I would rather see a president that I can respect from a distance and that I feel will be authoritative than someone who I want as a friend.
