Bad news for John Edwards. And explanation, perhaps, for why Karl Rove has never run for public office, from the journalScience:
Scientists have found that voters frequently pick the candidates with more mature looks, exuding competence, over those who have certain features -- round face, big eyes, small nose, high forehead, small chin -- in other words, a babyface.
