I don’t want a ‘pretty boy’. Demographic studies have demonstrated that women vote for the most visually pleasing candidate.
I want someone not only with intellect, but with knowledge on how to change the ‘inside the beltway’ concept of ‘tax and spend’.
I don’t want a good debater ~ I want effective motivator who can accomplish change , and fight for what’s morally right for the country , with experience of affecting change.
I want a true Conservative (morally , economicly, socially), not some mamby-pamby RHINO chosen and cultivated by party leadership because he is one of the ‘Good Ole Boys’.
Will I have to settle for less ?
Maybe so ... , but I don’t want to .
Unfortunately, that is true. And it is a big reason why Romney and Perry are still top tier candidates.
However, I think also Herman Cain has a great likability factor with his natural congeniality. As people (particularly women voters) get to know him, I am hopeful that congeniality will overcome looks for voters so inclined to be swayed by what's on the cover.
There is something I don't understand about a lot of women voters. They flock and worship at the feet of soulless and/or butt-ugly female candidates who rode into power on their husband's coattails (Hillary) or money (Boxer), but they recoil into a fit of catty jealousy against genuine articulate self-made women like Palin and Bachmann. I know that part of it is natural libtardism-- they see big government as a substitute for the daddy or the husband who treated them badly, or whom they could never get, but I don't think it can explain all of it.
