In politics, good looks can help

In politics, good looks can help

Good looks really do matter when it comes to politics, Australian researchers have found, and can add an extra 1.5 percent to 2 percent to a candidate's vote...


No wonder I lost... did I mention Stephanie Herseth was re-elected in a landslide?

Here's what's up at the Central Committee:

JC Dems Chair Jen Hemmingsen stepping down in March; no dirt, no fight, just wants more normal time for family stuff.

House 89 challenger Mark Nolte says he "will be on the ballot again". Interesting note: he raised about $13,000 and won 44%; House 79 challenger Clara Oleson raised nearly three times as much yet won only 38% - even worse than I did (my district overlapped parts of these two).

Chris plays the thermometer meme.
