This reminds me of a story I read during an election cycle. A lunch group of women all supported a particular candidate because he had a nice butt. I literally had someone say to me that she couldn’t support Fred Thompson because he had bags under his eyes, and, he wasn’t good looking enough to look presidential. Same goes for names. So, have we gotten to the point of looks, butts and names rather than policies?

Unfortunately the answer to your question at the end is “yes” in general. I knew we were doomed when the Republicans ran a grandpa against a rock star in 2008! Policies did not matter for too many people.

No irony there at all considering their doll gives them *starbursts*.
