"Now they say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was too pretty!!It was okay for them to talk about what a hunk Obama was, with his abs and swimsuit in Hawaii. Being good looking helped him. It was a good thing...He was smart AND good looking! Amazing...And what about the younger and more fit Billy Bob Clinton? Remember all the stories about how women thought he was so good looking? We were told he had strong support from women voters because he was handsome...So, for guys it is okay to be good looking and talk about it."
Now we're supposed to believe good looking is bad for women, though:
"However, for Sarah Palin, you cannot talk about her beauty...reports on a recent study:...two researchers had theorized a correlation between looks and competence. “We were shocked that we got any movement on the voting. It didn’t affect Democrats. They were all going to vote for Obama no matter what. It was only Republicans and independents who were moved. What we found is...whether they wrote about Palin or Angelina Jolie, when they wrote about her appearance rather than the person, they evaluated her to be less competent, less fully human. And in the case of the Palin prime, they were less likely to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket." Less than fully human??...So, is Sarah Palin an alien?"
Yes she is pretty. But too pretty? Oh C’mon!

Don’t try to seriously figure out the minds of leftists, because “taking such a road” will lead to ruin! Leftist politicking equals mental disorders.
make a conclusion and looks for arguments to fit it no matter how inane
We need visual evidence of this before I can I make a determination.
Obama isn’t good looking. He’s ugly. I can’t stand to look at the man and he’s incredibly arrogant besides, which also makes him ugly to me.
Scrawny with black lips is good looking? Ugh.
Well, yeah, I’d rather look at an ugly woman than a pretty one — wouldn’t everyone?
This because Hillary has not “aged” well, the girl is ugly as a mud fence, the pants suites accent her stern, she looks like she should beep when she backs-up.
Female Democrat candidates don’t have that handicap.
Three words: President John Edwards ...
Well, Sarah’s definitely too pretty to be a liberal Democrat, judging by the battleaxes that wear that designation.
Only if by “ugly” you mean “smokin’ hot” ;)
In some (liberal) cases this may be a valid generalization, but Conservative women tend to emphasize intelligence and competence, regardless of how easy they are on the eyes.
Must be a liberal prejudice.
whatta joke.
bill handel of kfi am 640 los angeles abandoned mccain when he named governor sarah palin as his running mate.
now, the other day, handel was bad mouthing palin because she is successful as a governor.
handel said, she’s in a rich state. let her try governing california.
uh duh...dude, palin would beat arnold hands down!
I think Sarah Palin is beautiful...in every way. She has a beautiful face, she is always well-groomed, she has a great figure and looks fantastic in anything she wears, she has great taste in clothing, she conducts herself in a professional manner, she makes the tough decisions based on what is morally correct, she is a great mother and wife, she is a patriot, she is a leader, she is courageous, and the list could go on. If the world had more people like her, it would be a better place.
I married a pretty woman.
Now I wonder if the song was correct.
*****
If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
If you make an ugly woman your wife,
You'll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,
She'll always give you peace of mind.
Don't let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don't match,
Take it from me she's a better catch
Say man.
Hey baby.
Saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, she's ugly.
Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook.
Yeah?. Okay.
If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
Well nobody ever accused Hilderbeast or stretch Pelosi of being too pretty did they?
It is my belief that men do not take looks into account when entering the voting booth. The same CANNOT be said of women. I have no doubt that women are more likely to vote for a male candidate they find more attractive. And I believe it is not a stretch to also say that women are less likely to vote for an attractive female candidate. It's called cattiness.
I know some ladies out there will find my hypothesis insulting, but a lifetime of following politics lead me to believe it to be true. I wish it were not true.
I must also add that I don't believe this is true for all women. In particular, those women who are self-confident, well-balanced Conservatives would be much less likely to allow the physical attributes of a candidate to affect their vote.
My only disagreement with this article is the assertion that 0bama is “good looking”.
