•Political scientists from UCLA compare candidates based on 'competence'
•Most students interpreted 'competence' as 'attractiveness'
•Mitt Romney scored in the 99th percentile, Sarah Palin in the 95th and Paul Ryan in the 67th
•'If the election were decided on looks, it would be no contest'
Republican duo Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are one of the hottest tickets this nation has ever seen, and now there's proof that its not just their politics.
According to professors at the University of California, Mitt Romney scores in the 99th percentile of all politicians for his looks alone, far outpacing his running mate Paul Ryan, whose rock hard abs only earned him a spot in the 67th percentile.
The study was conducted to measure the 'competence' of politicians and how much, if any, their attractiveness affected the outcomes of their elections...

I think you have a good point, and I’ve often considered that to be the case. I actually like the old-fashioned, button-down, quiet-strength that used to define maleness in the first half of the 20th Century. I relish it, whether in my memories of my family members, or watching it on display in old movies. The weak, metrosexual ‘maleness’ as it is now defined in the culture turns my stomach.
So, ostensibly I should be more open and forgiving towards Romney. But with him, there’s a certain distant aloofness that makes me feel uncomfortable, although sometimes I wonder if this is partly being driven by my knowledge and disapproval of his liberal history. Reagan, Palin, or even Perot... I’d be quite at ease in a foxhole under fire, with them by my side. Can’t say this about 95% of politicians, and that includes some pretty good ones when it comes to issues and stances.
Women probably won’t vote for a really pretty woman.
Terrible criteria, but... based on looks, the ones they picked are the best looking. Sarah, Mitt, Paul Ryan are are tops in political looks.
Mitt is far, far, far down the list of lookers, imo.
If it was based on looks, Rick Perry would be the nominee.
Ann Romney is only two years younger, 63, and she looks fantastic.
Hey, Sarah Palin is a beautiful woman, and I'd be happy to vote for her.
would have been a great ticket, too
BTTT
wow, that’s great.
What’s it look like without all the crack Spackle?
