    Only synthetic candidates wanted

    I voted for Obama and hope that he wins the nomination and the general election because of the three candidates, he appears to me to be the least synthetic. His statement about Pennsylvania is true and is true in many parts of the country. It is interesting that if a candidate says something outside the political establishment's play book of correct things to say, he gets jumped upon by the crazed media and, sadly, the GOP mimic Hillary Clinton. It is refreshing when I hear a candidate say something off the cuff, as opposed to an answer handcrafted by ten political consultants and speech writers.
