Maybe I need my eyes checked or something, but I don't consider Fred "ugly" at all. I think he's quite handsome in a manly sort of way. I never have liked girly men.
From this one strictly visceral female point of view, Romney makes my hair stand on end. If I didn't know who he was but met him casually or in business, I'd quietly decline any further relation. I like a handsome man as much as the next gal. But "handsome" comes from within. Romney just makes me want to turn around and head in the opposite direction.
Thompson, on the other hand, would be a guy who got more handsome the better you got to know him. What a great, interesting mind. I am severely disappointed, though. I'm just wondering what the hell got into him. I believe he would have won had he stayed in the race. I am shaking my head in complete disgust at this whole train wreck.
