Some people will be drawn to her because of her looks and people want to associate with that instead of what she's really all about. It's a natural reaction. I think one poll showed that she was more popular with men than with women.. this could be a response to the beauty question.
However, look at Hillary Clinton.. she's hideous, but I'd vote for her because of her policies compared to Palin or McCain. In fact, I think the Dem's nominated the wrong person, a Clinton Obama ticket would have been nice..but an Obama Clinton ticket not as nice..but that's perhaps a different thread.
Back to the OP, people always have funny reasons for voting. One of the problems with the vote itself is people don't pay attention to who or what they are voting for. They vote for a party simply because they align with that party or they vote for someone because that person holds a similar religious belief or they vote because that person is a certain race or gender.. so yeah beauty could be lumped into the same thing.
For me, I like to look at all the stances and the records and decide for myself who I think would make the best choice, not only for me but for my children as well.
