The Beautiful candidate always wins, because we have to look at them for 4 to 8 years straight.

Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale.
Ronald Reagan beat Jimmy Carter.
All old white dudes for sure.
ButRonald Reagan was an ACTOR. He had already been deigned by society as one of the Beautiful People.
He looked great on TV, hit is mark, and read his lines correctly.
Really, what more could you ask from a President?

Bill Clinton beat George H.W. Bush.
Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole.
Easy choice. Bill was young, tall and handsome compared to these old dudes.
He even played a bit of saxophone on a late night talk show.
Too bad he took advantage of his Beautiful People status and raped, seduced and sucked his way throughout his career.

George W. Bush beat Al Gore
George W. Bush beat John Kerry.
That was a close one. Two tall, young handsome guys. But Al Gore was stiff as a board and couldn't make a casual statement if he was on fire. George W. Bush was relaxed, funny, has great stories to tell and likes to tell them. He beat Al Gore by being... normal. He beat John Kerry because John Kerry looks like a horse. AND he couldn't make a casual statement if he was on fire.

Barak Obama vs. John McCain
Look what the Sarah Palin did to John McCain's presidential hopes the day she was unveiled. Clearly one of the beautiful people, she dominated every TV and Print space for a weeks. After 5 children, she is still gorgeous. And she can shoot. How hot is that? Then we got to know her.

Barak will win because we like looking at him.
And his wife is totally gorgeous.
So is John McCain's. But that's just creepy.
