If you worry about how your politicians LOOK, you would be a democrat.
Personally I want a politician (to the extent I want them at all) to look like they got their because of their brains.
their = there.
Meet your next president...I hear he has a PHD.
"If you worry about how your politicians LOOK, you would be a democrat."
Either that, or an Old Media realist. Back in 2000, a lot of the brains thought Forbes didn't stand a chance because of his scarred face. I think that was a major factor in the 2000 primary. Forbes had all the cash needed to win. He had good ideas. [Not as good as the National Sales tax, but better ideas than Bush.] He was backed up by Weyrich and many others. But the 'movers and shakers' were looking backwards. So Forbes was 'out'.
Major Garret is a big time reporter now. God bless both those men. And Garret is, IMHO, proving that you don't need to be a poodle boy nowadays to make it in politics.
On the other side of the coin, there's Hannity. He's got looks and a great memory. Even Boortz is amazed at Hannity's memory skills [and looks]. Bush has looks. It is a plus, even on the right [though I agree it shouldn't be]. But I like to think that brains are gaining ground on looks these days. Regardless, let's not take chances just yet. Hannity/Coulter 2008.
