My American MIL told us in 2008 that she knew Obama was from Africa, but she was going to vote for him anyway, because even though he was cullid, he was better looking and more trustworthy than McCain.

More high-quality, well-thought out and argued points from the incredibly articulate right. I think Mr. Feder (is he any relationship to a Mr. Richard Feder, from Fort Lee, New Jersey?) forgot the always cogent argument of "Oh, yeah, I know you are but what am I?".

Like most PKD: excellent, original concept, less than stellar execution. Worth a read though. I would higher-ly recommend Norman Spinrad's meta-novel Iron Dreams, allegedly by Hilter him/herself.

Seriously, Obama and JFK are the only outwardly attractive presidents I can think of off the top of my head. Clinton wasn't awful, but certainly not attractive. There hasn't been an even marginally handsome Republican president in my lifetime.

The "hideousness" factor? Yeah, as if the Republicans have cornered the market on hot candidates.
