“The fact that he is short make the race more of a freak show spectacle that will pique the interest of the drones.”

Ross Perot is about the same height as Mitch Daniels. Maybe my memory is shot, but I don’t recall any potshots taken at his height (even though both candidates he was running against were 6’2”). He was ridiculed for many other things, but not his height IIRC.

“Ross Perot is about the same height as Mitch Daniels.”

That only adds to my argument. The MSM and Leftists gave Perot a pass on his height and quirky personality because they needed him to take away Republican and conservative votes from Bush senior. If Daniels were a Leftist running in 0bama’s position, any attack on a short person would be considered as heightism and those making the charge would be treated like racists. Of course, because the Leftists are consummate hypocrites, it’s OK and even fun for the MSM to attack a short Republican. And if Daniels is the Republican candidate, you will hear over and again the fact that the taller person generally (but not always) wins the presidential election.
