Couch potato voters swayed by candidates' good looks
So who has the best shot at taking on President Obama in 2012? Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney? Not because of his stances on, say, job creation. Please. The guy looks like Jon Hamm's older brother. Just look at that meticulously manicured 'do.
Or what about Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann? The camera loves her almost as much as the Tea Party does. Those piercing blue eyes, that pearly, confident smile.
Hey, call it superficial. But a new study conducted by a pair of political scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that many low-information voters do, indeed, cast their ballots based on candidates’ looks -- especially the ones that watch a lot of television.

Which conservative on here was grousing about people who shouldn't be allowed to vote if they haven't done their homework?

That's ok LJ, I'm sure the 20% of you liberals will one day learn enough common sense to vote for someone based on experience and not because they are capable of sending a thrill up your legs. rofllolLadyJazzer wrote: "The Few....The Proud....The Ignorant..."
