Your point is well-taken, but then that speaks to the "pity" factor. And pity is a close sister to contempt. Contempt may be our friend. Remember how "likable" they're supposed to be.

For one thing, the left is already trying to hedge its bets. Look at the condescending way the *lefty* press is writing about her. She's "thinking" about improving her appearance. It's like they know it leaves a lot to be desired.

Contrast this with Tipper Gore, who seemed to have some affection on her side.

This is also the Hollywood gang who do nothing but judge on appearance. They have to be uncomfortable with someone who badly needs a "makeover."

She's "thinking" about improving her appearance.

Did somebody actually write that in an article?

BTW, she's already had a "makeover."

Now that I think about it, you make a lot of sense.

Do you remember the primaries when Howard "Hate America" Dean would not campaign with his wife because he did not think he had to? He actually had some good points about not wanting to drag his wife around like a trophy. However, this is America, and the voting public needed to see Howard Dean in order to vote for him. They literally need to see a wife to judge how well the candidate "picked". If the spouse is a shrew, its bad publicity. If shes attractive and warm, its good. Hillary had to go through a complete makeover in her years down in Arkansas.
