Not So Fast, John Kerry; Survey Says President Bush Has Best Hair
PR Newswire ^ | July 8, 2004

Posted on 07/08/2004 2:07:12 PM PDT by Leroy S. Mort

STERLING, Ill., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- May the best candidate win, but when it comes to the best presidential hair, George W. Bush has America's vote, according to Wahl Clipper Corporation's 2004 Grooming Survey and First Ever "Index" on men's grooming habits.

Despite John Kerry's recent claim that the Kerry-Edwards ticket has the best hair, Wahl's survey found that the majority of Americans overwhelmingly voted for Bush's hair over Kerry's (Bush -- 51 percent; Kerry -- 30 percent; neither -- 10 percent; don't know -- 9 percent.)

"Wahl isn't choosing sides politically, but when it comes to what we know best -- hair -- we're interested in what Americans think is a fitting hairstyle for their president," said Pat Anello, Director of Marketing for Wahl Clipper. "Whether you're running for president or running a busy schedule, Wahl has innovative, quality products that make grooming easy."

The truth behind these and other hairy facts have been tabulated to form Wahl's first annual Grooming Index, designed to benchmark the grooming behavior and habits of American men (age 18 and over).

The survey, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, is based on telephone surveys of 1,009 adults, 18 and over (including 512 men) conducted between May 6-9, 2004 with a margin of error among all adults plus or minus three (3) percent (and a margin of error plus or minus four percent among men).

How much of this was just people picking their favorite candidate? If a pollster asked me which was better Cheney's hair or Edward's hair I would pick Cheney just to spite them.

Kerry will probably come out with a new do, the "FLIP" flop.

Sadly, the answer to "Who has the best hair?" does garner some votes.

Kerry's "hairdo" is circa 1985. Edwards is circa 1989. Bush definately is better groomed and more presidential looking.

You just beat me to the punch. I posted a minute ago under a slightly different headline.

For what it's worth, Bush DOES have better hair than Kerry.

Edwards is circa 1989.

There's a handsome blonde bartender (male) in the local bar who all the ladies dream about. One day recently my 20-year-old daughter and I were in the restaurant, and the bartender came out of the bar to get an order of food. I pointed him out to my daughter as the resident "dreamboat," and she started laughing. "Him?" she said. "That hair is sooo 80s."

Bush has the haircut of someone who knows who he is. Lurch and the Breck Girl have hairdos that indicate they are desperately trying to hang on to a youthful image; too young for them, and also a couple of decades behind the times.

Well you do have to admit that Edward's hair is better than Cheney's.

Were Kerry's "better hair" remarks not insensitive to bald voters?

I'm bald and keep what's left in a "Major Dad" trim (yep, Wahl clipper). I wouldnt trade my look for Kerry's mop OR Edwards' hair-helmet. I can shower and be totally dry in five minutes, I haven't owned a blow dryer or paid for a haircut in 20 years, and the gals love to run their fingers through my....flesh.

I think thick mops on older men look silly - as in this picture of Kerry, and in someone like Pete Rose.
