I don't know what the heck has you bent out of shape, Bobert. It horrifies me that Romney might get elected, and I've never posted anything to the contrary. I loathe the Republican Party, and I loathe the values Romney stands for.

My post about his looks being an advantage was made in all seriousness, because I lament that something that superficial can be an advantage to a candidate...but it is. A lot of Americans will vote for Romney because what they imagine when they hear the word "president" is a handsome looking white guy in a suit...not a handsome looking black guy in a suit.

It's cultural conditioning, and it plays an important part in getting someone elected.

The same thing works against getting a female elected president, for similar reasons: past cultural conditioning.

I think you're just in a lousy mood because of the stress of the election, and I'm not surprised that you would be. It's the longest and most stressful election in the whole world.

My comment about George Clooney, by the way, was only meant to refer to his looks...not his political views.

Bobert, I definitely want Romney to lose this election. I can say it several more times if that's what will make you happy.
