Which candidate do you think is "hot?"

[caledesi]

I am a Dean supporter, but I think Wesley Clark is very attractive. <yeah, I know this is shallow, but hell after a few Heinekens...we are all shallow>

edit: drinking....need I say more?

[caledesi]

1. Gee, no votes for Joe? Am I surprised? Not!

[im4edwards]

2. Clark looks like Mr Rogers

not hot. Kinda creepy.

[caledesi]

3. Wesley Clark, IMHO, is a very attractive "older" man.

Beautiful blue eyes and he has the "kindness" of Ike. Yeah, I am old and remember Ike.

[laruemtt]

8. they're blue?

i thought is eyes are brown?

[caledesi]

33. Am I wrong here? I thought they were blue.

[graham67]

35. I think....

they're hazel. :)

[laruemtt]

39. they could be

polka dotted and striped and i'd still be spellbound. i wonder if he knows what he's doing to us??? :smoke:

[blondeatlast]

47. That explains about 90% of the, ahem, fun, going on in GDF.

I want HTML in subject lines, dammit!

[Andromeda]

85. Maybe it's the Heinekens...

it's hard to tell in a dimly lit conference room. :)

[alcuno]

15. He's a Sean Connery type.

Dean is the hottest
Clark is hot
Sharpton is not
Graham reminds me of my grandfather
Kerry has too much hair
Edwards needs a haircut
Kucinich has bad hair
Gephardt is too blond
Lieberman is too blond and has a fat face
Carol Mosley Braun is not my type

[laruemtt]

sean connery

makes me weak in the knees. yep, clark's a lot like him. mmhmmm.

[alcuno]

38. He's 73 years old and totally hot.

Clark and Dean are both in their 50's so they still have a ways to go.

[JNelson6563]

4. Oh alright! I'll admit it!!

I think Edwards is attractive. ;-)

Julie

[im4edwards]

13. of course Edwards is good looking and far moreso than the rest

I mean come on ! Its not even close !

[caledesi]

23. Oh, he is a real cutie. I mean he looks like he's about 30!

very nice.

[oregonjen]

5. Clark by far is the best looking

I can admit this after a couple glasses of wine.;)
Seriously though, appearance does mean a lot. How one presents oneself speaks volumes.

[caledesi]

24. For an older man, I think Clark is very sensual. <ok, I am high>

[latebloomer]

6. Poor Kerry- no votes so far!

Believe it or not, long face and all, he used to be pretty damn cute, back in his Vietnam Veterans Against the War days.

[caledesi]

25. He was very cute....what happened?

That pic w/ John Lennon is priceless.

[latebloomer]

31. Mmmm. . .

Yeah, baby!

[blondeatlast]

48. True. I still think he looks "presidential."

[wyldwolf]

7. Kucinich is cute in a Keebler elf kinda way...

[latebloomer]

10. "Keebler elf"??

ROFL!

[wyldwolf]

11. yeppers!

[CoffeePlease1947]

84. ROFLFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only the hair color is different

[eridani]

78. The little guy is much stronger than he looks

I know. I shook his hand. He has very intense charisma in person close up. He's built like my husband, also usually underestimated. Maybe I just have a thing for tough little peasants that can carry a heavy load all day on short rations.

[JohnKleeb]

91. dani hes also a former athlete

Ive heard people say Kucinich looks like a geek. Well lol did your candiate play high school football? DK was a quarterback when he was a kid. Hes like my uncle in that respect. I think DK is a pretty good looking guy, I do like what you use. I saw him one time here at DU and favorably compared to the late Charles Bronson they do kinda look alike.

[diamondsoul]

93. By gosh I voted for Kucinich! ;D

No, I am not kidding, I think he's the hottest one of the bunch, including Edwards (what the hell is that BUMP on his lip?! For some silly reason that bump is always the first thing I notice.)!

Kucinich has this...quiet determination, coupled with a smile that lights up his face and I'm just done for. Then again I was never a hugely superfical person. Only once have I met a man I just couldn't find any physical attraction to, and I believe firmly it was his lack of self-confidence that caused that problem.

[JohnKleeb]

94. I voted for him too

Even though :) I dont care. In fact DK a small bit looks like me. Hes not that bad looking. Of course hes not gonna get a modeling contract DK :) but hes not a gorgacoyle either.
Kleeb: a straight guy wondering why people think DK isnt so good looking.

[diamondsoul]

96. I wonder...

When I was a teenager I sort of went for the "pretty boy" good looking guys. One of those stages I think most people go through. One thing I learned was that usually the better looking they were physically, the less likely they were to be nice people. Maybe that's why I started to gravitate towards the less physically attractive people in the scale. It sort of got so the reall drop dead gorgeous types didn't appeal to me very often, and those that did seemed not to be aware how attractive they were to others.

By the time I was 18, I figured out that if I really liked a guy as a person, their personality was attractive enough, their physical appearance got more and more attractive to me. Such is the case with Kucinich. First time I saw him, I burst out laughing, but then he started to talk. The more I heard the more I liked his looks.

[JohnKleeb]

97. I admit I look at the pretty girls and always will

but I can talk to all. Well I didnt care what he looked like being a hetero guy who doesnt judge a politican by looks. DK's heart has to be the most beautiful thing about him, that is who he speaks to, the heart, and its beautiful.

[Desertrose]

100. I'm with you diamondsoul...

there is something really....I dunno...intense and well, ok ,didn't want to say hot, but...well, yeah, hot!

I've been looking at lot of different photos of him to put on fliers etc and the one we have for our DU avatar is not the best...I love this one with him on a cell phone...big smile lighting up his face...yup a hottie!

Yeah...for me its way more than exterior looks...its this internal thing about knowing who you are & DK seems to have that in spades.

The rest really kinda all turn me off in that way......I mean they seem pleasant but not a hottie among em....in fact...its more like the eeeww factor.

Ok...I am posting way too late...never a good idea for me...
g'nite & sweet dreams
DR

[Renew Deal]

9. Wait until Rush see's this.

Oh boy. :silly:

[laruemtt]

12. limpballs

is already so jealous of clark he can't stand it. limpie is only pseudo while clark is the real deal. and in the looks dept, well a comparison is too ludicrous to imagine.

[caledesi]

26. Tell that fat ass who LOVES Paris...that Clark is hot, hot. hot

[blondeatlast]

50. You think that's bad . . . Wait until John Kleeb sees this!!!

(We love ya, guy!)

[JohnKleeb]

92. lol thanks

You know the funniest happen to me at DU, I got congruadlated for what my fellow Kucinich supporter wheresthemind did. I was like guys I am not Alex I am JOHN lol. Hey its good to be loved and a Kucinich supporter, now get me my Guiness or Sobe if you dont want me drinking.

[eleny]

14. Hands down - it's....

[im4edwards]

17. won't you be my neighbor...

somebody get him his sweater and slippers

[caledesi]

27. Wow! I only wish I could look that good at his age!

I would "do him" in a sec. <I am high, could you tell? LOL!>

[diamondsoul]

89. Ok, see nw I KNOW I'm brainwashed!

I used to think Clark was incredibly HOT in uniform, and I still do when I see some of his old Army photos. This one that I'm replying to I do NOT like!

Call me kooky, (hell everyone does anyway just 'cause I support Kucinich) but folks, I SWEAR this picture of Clark, all I can think is he needs some fangs coming down.*shudder* ICK!

I must add, in spite of that I still admire him.

[KittyWampus]

16. Clark Looks Like The Last Guy I Went Out With

Minus glasses...

[laruemtt]

19. he's got the eyes

of the love of my life (before hubby, of course..) when he wasn't plastered, which wasn't often enough to make it work after 12 years... nice to see what those eyes could look like in a healthy body and mind....

[caledesi]

36. laure..you are funny!

But, believe it or not, I understand. My lst husand was like that - very sensual, but an alcoholic.

[laruemtt]

44. caledesi

such a waste ain't it? x(

[caledesi]

53. Oh yeah, what a waste. Great in bed...but that doesn't make a

relationship. The alcoholism defeinitely gets in the way. Cheers!

[caledesi]

57. Oh yeah, a waste, sex isn't everything!

[latebloomer]

18. Dean is pretty sexy!

I find Clark rather neutral sexually.

[caledesi]

28. Dean is sexy in his own way! Have you seen him dance?

He's got it! A very visceral person....and I like that.

[latebloomer]

37. Haven't seen him dance

Sounds intriguing!

i dig his smile-- very sexy.

[caledesi]

61. Watch him dance....it says a lot....he's got it!

[diamondsoul]

95. Ok, ok, I confess. Dean falls prey to my ONE

superficial hangup- He has NO LIPS! Dean, Kerry and Lieberman all three have that problem for me, and Clark's makeup crew made his lips look very strange for a recent interview, very PINK. It was kind of creepy.

[oregonjen]

20. This is not a slam at Dean but...

Does anybody else think that Dean looks like the actor who played the cowardly lion in the "Wizard of Oz?" Just asking.

[latebloomer]

21. Bert Lahr?

Naaah.

[blondeatlast]

54. Not a Deanie, but no, I don't see that at all.

But it's Friday night, and who knows? Maybe if I look later!

[kayleybeth]

22. Clark

I think Clark is the best looking (but I'm admittedly biased) with Edwards a close second. Dean has something about him too, not really physical, but Dean has a very powerful aura about him that makes him extremely attractive. I think all three of them would do well in terms of TVQ ratings with the American public.

[caledesi]

30. Well said KB, I totallt agree,

Clark is very attractive.
Edwards is a cutie.
Dean is sensual.

[graham67]

29. RE: Poll question: Which candidate do you think is "hot?"

Wesley Clark is mad hot. Howard Dean has an incredibly sexy gravelly voice.

grrrrrrrr....... :evilgrin:

[laruemtt]

34. well, ya know,

with clark, dean and edwards teasing us day in and day out, it's a good thing i'm 'pausin' cuz dh is gonna be one "busy" man til the election and i'd really not wanna end up preggers because these guys keep me in a "heightened" state of, er, awareness...

[graham67]

40. To the Heightened State of Awareness

:toast:

[caledesi]

32. Carol Moseley Braun has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

Seriously. She's a babe.

[kayleybeth]

51. I agree... Gotta love her smile!

Carol is a breath of fresh air!

[blondeatlast]

58. Indeed she does, but in the "hot" department, well, she doesn't do

anything for me, if you catch my drift.

OHMIFORKINGGOURD, are we sexist tonight or what? Makes up for the "Most Beautiful women" thread in the Lounge.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

41. I'm a heterosexual guy..

..but I HAD to vote for Clark. I can't imagine any woman or gay man voting for Bush over him, just due to his appearance alone!

[latebloomer]

2 people voted for Lieberman?

Just shows to go you-- there's someone for everyone!

[caledesi]

63. I have to be honest...Joe L looks like Alfred E. Newman!

[sugarcookie]

42. Dean's personality

is what makes him attactive to me. Nothing turns me on like a self confident man. I'm not attracted to picture perfect men...I like men with character in their faces.

[caledesi]

64. Good point! He is definitely self-confident & I find that attractive

and if you have read anything on Dean..he calls his wife every day...and starts out with "sweetie"...is that cool or what?

[sugarcookie]

74. That is sweet

and sexy...the guy has real mojo. His wife is lucky.

[nonconformist]

43. Dean is hot, Edwards is hot...

But Clark is very hot.

[blondeatlast]

45. How close is it to closing time?

Heh, heh . . . .

Primary joke . . .

It always loses something if you have to explain it . . .

For looks, John Edwards, Clark running close. Don't think I'll go home with either of them, though, if you catch my drift.

[Donna Zen]

46. Did you catch the Newsweek Clark pix?

The picture of him walking down the hall surrounded by his aides made you say "yo"!

But my favorite was a close up of him dancing with Gert and kissing her check. Something about it....

And yes, Carol M-B has a wonderful smile.

[Melinda]

49. There is NO contest -- John Edwards is GORGEOUS!

Drop dead handsome, this man can park his boots under my bed anytime!

[Katie]

79. Edwards is hot, hot, hot...and

intelligent & articulate too! Clark/Edwards in 2004!

[tjdee]

52. Clark is sexy, Edwards is cute. The others...

the others of course are attractive in their own way--plus, Democrats and other liberals automatically are good looking, clear eyed people IMO. They look good because they think good.

I am not really a "looks" person in real life, but I can tell a hot guy when I see one, and Wesley...man, that name even adds to the hotness! Whew! Edwards is more like the attainable cute guy, though, warm face, nice smile, lean body type...

I feel exceedingly silly now, LOL. :)

[Kahuna]

87. Clark is a James Bond type hot, IMHO...

:smoke:

[JasonBerry]

55. Bizarre Question

Here we are going into election 2004 against the biggest criminal to occupy the office - and you even CARE what the candidates look like? I'd vote for Rep. Gerald Nadler (below) if I thought he was best for America.
Wesley Clark should be running for the REPUBLICAN nomination and not out fooling many a good Democrat into thinking he's one of us. The man is nothing if not DECEPTIVE. This time, let's TRULY return honor and integrity to the White House! It won't happen with Wesley K. Clark.

[alcuno]

62. Nagler is NOT hot.

And the question was not about who you'd vote for. However, I'd love to vote for a Democratic "hottie." I watched Clark live on CSPAN tonight and he certainly sounded like a Democrat. Unless there is proof to the contrary, I'm willing to take him at his word. Also, he is hot!

[JasonBerry]

66. You BELIEVE him?

Of course Nadler is not "hot" - that's my point! You just heard Clark and he "sounds like a Democrat." Brother! His past statements and actions don't matter? You believe this opportunist with a smile? I do not support Clark - OR - anybody supporting the HIJACKING of our party.

[alcuno]

76. Well, I am skeptical about all politicians.

Time will tell if Clark comes close to being the real deal and I'm not sure which past statements and actions you are talking about. I am sure the DLC thinks that Dean, who is also hot, is hijacking the party as well.

[caledesi]

69. Hey, looks (unfortunately ARE a factor) ....I told you it was shallow

so what's the problem? It is well-documented that when teachers look at picture of students and ONLY pictures, they are asked to discern who is the "trouble-maker, etc. and the consensus is that teachers view these pictures, and pictures alone as who are the "problem kids" and the results are kids that are NOT attractive. Big surpise, huh?

[9215]

70. Superficial shit is all that most people in this superficial society

care about. This process is sometimes referred to as "commodification". Good to see DU is mainstreaming.

Somebody told me I'm too serious. I said you are too superficial. Which is worse?

"Hmmm, I don't know"

I don't know either, I replied, but I do know that being superficial is much easier.

Have a nice day! :)

[JasonBerry]

73. Thanks, I think. N/T

[9215]

80. That's correct

You got "serious", hee,hee.

[NNN0LHI]

56. OK. Who gave the sympathy vote for Bob Graham? Just kidding

None of them does anything for me. My wife says she thinks Edwards is good looking and likes his accent. She is a southern gal.

Don

[blondeatlast]

60. Not even CMB?

[NNN0LHI]

71. If anyone it would be Carol. n/t

[blkgrl]

59. Edwards blew it...

If he was more outspoken with some real ideas then he would definately be a front runner right now.

[maxanne]

65. ooh

I hope one of the boys will ask me to dance soon...:eyes:

Sorry - this is just waaaay too junior high.

[blondeatlast]

67. Credit where credit is due . . .

High School. Sheesh. :eyes: :hi:

[grasswire]

68. Gepardt flirted with me...

.....in the supermarket once about ten years ago when I lived in NoVa. So I voted for him.

[laruemtt]

72. hey hey now

don't you know you underestimate the power of the almighty hormone at your own peril? just wanna have some fun here tonite. if we were only "skin-deep" don't ya think we'd be hanging out at aol tonite or somethin? we're just appreciating the multifaceted superiority of our candidates - yes, that's it.

[diamondsoul]

98. Aw come on, it's just a little fun about the field

and it's a nice change from beating each other up over our candidates. WTH, I can be superficial once in a while just for kicks. When it comes down to choosing my vote, that's a whole other matter.

[JohnKleeb]

99. It sure is relaxing

and peaceful. You know technically I should have voted Moseley Braun :) being that shes the only woman and all. LOL if this were SGA elections, I'll get back to you guys on that. :)

[Spazito]

75. If there is such a thing as "virtual pheromones", Clark has it....

but that is just my take. He strikes me as yowsa!

[LWolf]

77. "Hot?" None.

I'm out of beer. I don't think there's enough beer to convince me to think one of them is "hot."

I like some and respect most, but "hot" they just aren't.

I wonder if there's any wine left in there?

[Rowdyboy]

81. Gay Clark supporter who thinks Edwards is FAR hotter...

but I don't pick my candidates on their sex appeal (much)

[Piperay]

82. Toss-up for me between Edwards and

Wesley Clark....BOTH HOT *pant* *pant* :9 I cast my vote for Edwards cause he wasn't getting as many as Clark.

[Polemonium]

83. DEAN

Falling for Clark is an act of unspeakable desperation.

[jsaro]

86. Dean, Clark, Edwards -- Hot, Hot, Hot!

It's so funny that you posted this because just yesterday I was driving around doing my soccer mom thing thinking about how HOT Howard Dean is. And I don't generally think too much about that sort of thing at this point in life. I have also had impure thoughts about Wes Clark, also hot. I haven't really fantasized about John Edwards, but he is clearly worthy. It's a tough call between Howard and Wes, but I'd really rather go home with Howard.

[Robin Hood]

88. Based on the hot or not factor.

It looks like a Clark/Edwards ticket.

[JohnKleeb]

90. Kucinich isnt doing so bad

[leftofthedial]

101. that stripper who is running for CA governor

is the only hotty in the bunch.

I guess Arriana ain't bad either.

But Carol M-B gets my vote for most attractive.

[kaitykaity]

102. For those who missed it . . .
