I’m starting to think Haley Barbour made a mistake in not running. He would’ve CREAMED Milt Romney in a debate and is a fundraising machine.
Barbour would have had the same problem as Christie, it’s all about looking the part now. Barbour looks like the sheriff in the commercials Dodge used to run long ago, “You in a heap o’ trouble boy.”
If Romney looked like Dennis Kucinich he would be running at one percent in the polls. Even Herman Cain at 65 looks the part, Gingrich may be the best man running but he doesn’t look the part either. Abraham Lincoln probably couldn’t get elected to a local school board now.
Of course JUST looking the part doesn’t do it all as Perry seems to be proving but NOT looking the part seems to be the kiss of death in this era.
