Will the Gimmicks Win Today?

I asked myself reading Richard Cohen's in today's Washington Post. Especially when I got to this paragraph:

An allergy to cant can be an admirable quality in a politician, although not necessarily a politically smart one. Obama, for example, is right to label Hillary Clinton's proposal to have the government lift the gas tax this summer as "a classic Washington gimmick." Still, gimmicks like this win votes.

If we truly want candor or clear-thinking or just common-sense from our President, then I say the gimmicks will lose. Now, we have about five hours to find out if I know anything about Indiana.
