The Washington Post got it right.

They absolutely did.

Here's the condensed version:

"Obama has a very thin resume and no executive experience, but he is the
right man because he tells us what we want to hear and gives us feelings
up our leg. McCain is the wrong man mainly because he picked Palin, who
has a very thin resume and a mere hint of executive experience, and
while we (especially our female staff) wish Sarah would let us feel up
her leg, McCain doesn't give us guilty white whiny-assed "liberals" the
warm-n-fuzzies we hold so very dear..."

The problem is that when the "real deal" comes along, if ever, he or she
will say what no one is comfortable hearing and ask that people to do
difficult things that involve self-sacrifice by every level of
socio-economic status, and while it won't sound pleasant, it'll sound
exactly like what it is: honest, sensible, correct and proper. The only
question is, "will enough people actually listen?"

And no, McCain is not that man, either.
