I understand what you are saying. But the data shows there is a "swing" element to it. Look at Romney - the Republicans put up a "hunk" in a liberal state and some women switched their votes to him. It happens.
well, I suppose -- very grudgingly -- that if people can
vote for ralph nader because of the single issue of snail-
darters, then voting for a guy because he makes you feel
funny in the pants is at least as important.
