This might help (from Merriam- Webster Collegiate Dictionary:

Main Entry: states·man
Pronunciation: 'stAts-m&n
Function: noun
Date: 1592
1 : one versed in the principles or art of government; especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government or in shaping its policies
2 : one who exercises political leadership wisely and without narrow partisanship

Even focusing on the second definition, it appears that having a Point of View is okay, but "narrow partisanship" is not. So I guess it hinges on what "narrow" means. Interesting......
