Subject: RE: BS: Colin Powell Endorses Pres Obama
Romney does look like a traditional, white-classy-guy-in-a-suit type American president. He looks almost perfect for that role. Only George Clooney could do it better! ;-) And that is definitely going to help him with a lot of white people who will vote for the guy who simply looks like their inner picture of "the president".

I mean, heck, he could be the father on a show like "Little House on the Prairie" or something. He's got the look. He's got the hair. He's got the chin. And he looks rather young and vigorous.

That is going to make a lot of people vote for him merely on the most superficial level...his outer appearance.

It was John Kennedy's handsome outer appearance that got him elected in '64. Looks count for a lot in an election.

Remember McCain??? Naw...he looked too old! Obama was the sleek, young-looking, vibrant newcomer with the great smile then, and it helped him quite a bit back in 2008.
