Isn't this the way its always been. Kennedy looked like a winner. Nixon didn't.

Did Reagan get boooked for his perspicacity and intelligent approach to everything. I think people just liked the look of him. he looked a bit like Marlborough man - albeit without the cowboy hat.

Clinton was gorgeous, a living doll, and he played a saxophone.

Anyway - no one can really say what they're going to do as a president. When you get there its different. You just hope to get someone who's got all his short change upstairs.. A decent bloke.

An inability to answer simple questions is a bit of a giveaway. It finished off Kerry.

An inability to come up with populist answers can be another drawback. Look how that guy from Boston, Michael Something came unstuck over refusing to back capital punishment.... worst mistake America ever made, not choosing him. Best human being on the block.
