Beauty influences everything. The more attractive a person is, the more likely they are to be healthy, wealthy, and popular. The primary affect of beauty is not a conscious response, so I can say with relative certainty that even those who believe they aren't swayed by beauty are just not aware of its affect on them. It's been studied over and over and over again, beautiful people are even more likely to be helped in the street if they drop something.
It affects everyone, whether they're aware of it or not. I won't be voting for her because of her inexperience and her Presidential running-mate, because it's an intellectual decision. If this were a simple popularity contest which didn't address intellectual topics (politics), I'm almost certain that Palin would win.
