It isn’t silly, you are absolutely right, it’s looks. It has always been looks.
Clinton was elected based on his looks. Bush was much easier on the eyes than Algore and Kerry.
I also suspect some of these women are not quite as pro-life as they sometimes claim. Mittens’ commitment to pro-life is questionable.
Looks are the reason Paul has never had a prayer.
I think the tendency to vote based on appearances are one reason the founding fathers did not want women to have the vote.
When I see polls saying that 50% of Republican voters see Romney as the most conservative, I know they are wishfully attributing that to him based on his “Presidential” appearance.
Not all women are so easily swayed by a handsome face. I am a bit undecided between Newt and Santorum at this point. Can Newt overcome his past? Can Santorum best Obama in a debate?
I think with Paul it's the Alien Abductions that he had endured, moreso than his looks.....
