Regarding the poll, a reader writes in, "i just voted for obama in your poll as the person i'd rather have as an editor in the newsroom ... but i feel that you should clarify somehow that 'newsroom editor' does not equal 'president,' in case that was the parallel you were trying to draw. i say this because the very reason that i would prefer obama as my editor is the very same reason i would NOT want him to be my president (and likewise, the reason i don't want hillary to be my editor is the same reason i'd prefer her to be the prez) -- i feel like under obama's newsroom leadership, i could get away with a lot more shit b/c he wouldn't have the experience to know when i wasn't doing what i was supposed to and/or when i wasn't doing it right ... and i feel like he'd be the 'nice guy' and the easier guy to work for and with ... hillary, on the other hand, would run a much tighter ship. so, what i am essentially revealing is that i'm lazy, but also that i hillary would make a better president b/c i will vote for the person who can bust balls and get the job done, not just walk around the newsroom (or the oval office) and smile but not really know what's going on ... which sounds a lot like my current bosses ... hmmm ..."
