I often wonder how the blind can choose a candidate what with being unable to see what they look like. It seems to be that appearance is 90% of the qualifications for the job.

I remember a few years ago when everyone hooted and hollered when ever Ann hit the screen and raved about how there had to be the ‘obligatory’ picture.

Well, you have to admit, that is one of the best transexual conversions I have ever seen. He's absolutely beautiful!

Appearance, the guy with the executive hair, unfortunately has made a difference for years now.

I remember when Nixon debated Kennedy in 1960. Those who heard it on the radio were clear that Nixon won the debate while those who saw the Nixon who was recovering from the flu and the carefully groomed and tanned Kennedy were sure that Kennedy won the debate.

This has evolved into one of the primary requirements for running: the candidate must look “presidential”.

It is a load, but voters tend to be shallow both in their candidate preferences as well as their intelligence.
