Beauty in politics.

does it really affect the way people vote?

are policies the criterion or is visual appearances more important? we've all seen how ballots are swayed when a good looking politician comes onto the scene. the latest example being Palin. it happens in all countries and is not specific to any nation.

sure, Palin is a bad looking woman. not my type, but she is attractive and i can see how people can be attracted to her looks. but should we be voting and basing our vote on the way we visually feel about someone who may be the future president of the USA? Ive heard her being referred to as a MILF and other such names, so her popularity is riding on her looks.

would you vote for her based on her looks? or politics? would you vote for those same policies if she was a bat-ugly hag?

obviously being an aussie, i cant vote in the US elections, but i personally would never vote for anyone would i thought did not have the political and economic capabilities to run my nation, regardless of how they looked.
