Which 2008 Presidential Candidate has the best hair?

[Ian David]

Poll question: Which 2008 Presidential Candidate has the best hair?

[BlueEyedSon]

1. Carville.

[LittleClarkie]

15. Quality instead of quantity, eh?

How is the old martian, anyway?

[Stinky The Clown]

30. You betcher ass its Carville ..... he and I have the same barber

Same barber for face and scalp!

[BlueEyedSon]

31. This is what you need!

32. That's cute, but when my Mach III gets dull I use sandpaper

I use sandpaper for TP, too. We call it 'Macho Wipe' where I come from. :)

[snowbear]

2. We don't even know who the '08 candidates are yet....

Silly Ian!

[Guaranteed]

3. Are you *shitting* me, man????

John Edwards, by far. I defy anyone to come up with a better head of hair (plus the face) than his. :)



Lookit that!

[Inspired]

9. Best everything

WOW! He looks darn good in person, too.

[snowbear]

4. Will the person who selected grease hair Romney please stand up?

:puke:

[MADem]

5. Kerry has the best hair, and I bet he is running

Even though he is Austrian, it looks like Irish hair...

Mitt Romney? That guy's hair is THINNING and DYED--he must use a can of Toppik a day to thicken it up!! His hair looks like a scrawny, patchy version of Wayne Newton's, full of hairspray and faux color...if you lit a match near it, he'd probably go up in flames like Michael Jackson shooting a Pepsi commercial!!!!

[papercut]

6. Wes Clark

[LittleClarkie]

13. I bet you wouldn't have the motsa balls to say that to his face

Yeah, nice hair. Nice bulges. Looks good in jeans.

:D

Oh yeah.

[MADem]

47. Sure I would

I voted for the guy, he is my Senator. He has long joked about his Irish name--why not Irish hair? He has a head of hair not dissimilar to Ted's in his youth.

There is a bit of parlor betting that always goes on during national elections, and usually, the guy (always a guy, so far) who is the tallest and who has the best hair wins.

The bit about the bulges and the jeans that you note I simply do not get. The poll question was about hair.

[BlueIris]

7. My beloved John Kerry still has the best hair, thanks.

So precious. Fluffy at times, and at others, sleek and debonair. It's so versatile.

I still just want to make out with him, sometimes.

[Island Blue]

10. You mean this hair BlueIris?

Yeah, that's definetly the best.

[BlueIris]

33. Stop it! I'm lonely and...lonely enough as it is!

Grrrrr. So cute. (Sorry, again, Ms. Heinz.)

[LittleClarkie]

14. Yep, our Sweet Baboo would win hands down

That's why they didn't include him in the poll you see. Jealous. Uh huh.

[NMDemDist2]

56. I like Kerry for his politics and his position on issues, looks are the

last thing I'd chose a candidate on, be it for President or to hire as a part time checker in my store.

america is too hung up on how people look IMO

[Goldeneye]

8. On that poll, I had to vote for Edwards,

but I'm trying to keep my mind open to knew hair. I really think it's too early to be talking about best hair. Besides, a lot can happen in 4 years. Greying, balding, dandruff, bad dye jobs, unfortunate trimmer accidents, etc. Let's just try and keep our minds open to new hair, because the best hair now, may not be the best hair in 08'.

[wiley]

11. Obama

See? Why do all these polls assume that a person of color will not run for President in 08?



:puffpiece:

[elshiva]

17. I'll second that! Very handsome and capable guy, Obama!

[wiley]

22. Thank You!

He's a Leader and a looker,eh?


:toast:

[elshiva]

23. YES! And he had such a great speech DNC 2004.

:toast:

[Poiuyt]

12. Can Jim Traficant run for president?

[snowbear]

16. LOL .... OMG, too funny!!

:rofl:

[chaska]

18. There's only one candidate. His name is...

Wes Clark.

[Inspired]

20. So you say....

I'm counting about 8. Of course there will only be one winner. His name is Edwards.

[chaska]

21. I am laughing at you, not with you.

:)

[Inspired]

24. Laugh away!

I'm very, very serious.

[SamBass]

38. Edwards could be a real winner.

He's got a lot more going than the hair. 'Course, it doesn't hurt that he's cuter than a speckled pup, but I'd really like to see him take a run at it. He's fresh, different, your classic "boy from hard working family makes good." He could really turn that "trial lawyer" stuff right back on the rethugs. He could make the argument that a "trial lawyer" is on the little guy's side against big bidness . . .

All the other runners have bagage. Bags under their eyes, propped up hair, and, did I mention baggage? I can't get excited about any of 'em.

[Inspired]

69. Thank you

for the breath of fresh air.

[Guaranteed]

25. There will be talk of no other.

:P

[bklyncowgirl]

19. Gotta vote for the Breck Girl

Hillary, I do like that latest do but Edwards got you beat, honey.

[Contrary1]

26. Is the Rev. Al Sharpton gonna run?

[PresidentObama]

27. Kerry of course

but he doesn't seem to be on the list....

[wisteria]

29. Got to agree with you here! n/t

[wisteria]

28. What? I don't know whether to laugh or call this poll stupid. n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

34. John Kerry

[Crunchy Frog]

35. I like Wes Clark's hair.

That's hardly the most important thing that I like about him, but it's something. It's not as flashy as some, but I find it extremely handsome.:)

[Tracyjo]

36. Silly poll

Don't you know it's too early to decide which candidate has the best hair? Lets concentrate on 2006. ;)

44. Something wrong with being partisan?

I do hope you will make note that those "partisan" Wes Clark supporters worked their asses off for John Kerry (who without a doubt has the "best" hair by the way) after Clark dropped out.

The majority of folks on DU have their "favorites", it's not like this is exclusive to Clark supporters.

I'm always amazed at the bitterness some posters demonstrate over the fact that General Clark's base is strong and active.

I just don't get it. :shrug:

[PurityOfEssence]

74. "Active" is different than "incessant"

This was a bit of a joke: throughout the history of this board, extreme partisans seem to be able to justify voting for their champion no matter what. I'm sure that if a thread for "who's the best female candidate for President" had been posted 16 months ago, there would have been all sorts of posts for the various heroes, all of whom had a better argument than Carol Mosely-Braun.

It's just silly.

Clark's people win here. They OVERWHELMINGLY win. They've done so since November '03. Somehow that doesn't translate into the rest of the world, but who's to say why?

It's not just an issue of Clark's supporters, it's an issue of extreme partisanship. One of the most riveting moments in the the over four years I've been on this board was the weekend when the Clark supporters systematically blizzarded the board. The Deanies (who had been ridiculously tiresome with the same tactics) were dumbfounded to be beaten by their same tactics. It was like dynamiting out an oil fire: the incredulity was palpable.

The dynamic of such a place like this tends to repeat itself with different vortexes of power, but the spirit is the same.

So, to answer your question: partisanship shows verve, but knowing when to stop is is the issue. Worse still, when you're in the camp of those who've ABUSED communal acceptance, goodwill and tolerance, don't carp about being victimized. It's like the fundamentalists who bellyache about Christianity being suppressed when their guess has more sanctioned power than any other.

PM me if this doesn't satisfy.

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

81. Worst still?

I don't "carp" nor have I ever "abused" much of anything...not my style, and I'm sure as hell not claiming to be a victim. (yes I know, you're not accusing me personally yada yada...just us "partisans" in general)

I do seem to notice the above mentioned traits in your post however...go figure.

Seems being a Democrat means being in the middle of a feral cat fight...and everyone knows, ya' can't herd cats.

All this over a kinky poll about hair. LOL

50. I don't understand why you are calling me out on this thread.

I haven't done or said anything to you, or about you. I did nothing more than state that I like Wes Clark's hair in a thread about politician's hair. I honestly do like his hair and I don't understand how you can possibly have a problem with that.

I simply can't understand why you have to make every innocent little remark or post into some huge partisan matter and I find it truly offensive that you would call me out in this fashion completely out of the blue.

[faithfulcitizen]

65. who was the wise-ass?

[FrenchieCat]

67. I noticed that!

Plus the man has one of those Chicken neck...which normally I wouldn't comment on...but in his case, I will!

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Me.

Of course, I have not officially announced my candidacy, yet.

[election_2004]

42. Why is Dean included on this poll?

Dean is DNC chair; he ain't running for prez in '08.

[union_maid]

45. Wes Clark has the best hair

Although Hillary has gotten the hair thing down very well now, as well. Wes Clark's hair is perfect because you don't really notice it. It's well behaved but doesn't command attention. I hope by the time the primaries come around the same can be said for his suits and ties. He looks best in uninform or casual. The suits and ties were not good in the last primary cycle.

[MADem]

48. Suits (ye olde mufti) are often a problem for retired military officers

They generally only have one or two stuffed in the closet for emergencies (wedding, funeral, or civilian clothing event) during their career, along with the standard grey and khaki slacks and blue sport coat and striped tie, usually worn with bad shoes, a light blue shirt and aviator sunglasses. They don't keep up with fashion trends, and stick out like sore thumbs, especially if they are in heavy operational rotation and don't have opportunities to really see how the civilians live on a day to day basis.

The sharpest dressed personnel at CINCUSNAVEUR (a London command where civilian clothes were worn by all personnel) were the junior enlisted. They spent the money (one got a clothing allowance) on Armani, while the cheapskate officers tended to shop via mail order or at the exchange and pocket the diff.

[FrenchieCat]

53. Also, remember that Wes has "Swimmer" shoulders....

So his suit size is probably a bit off....when buying off the rack. Probably needs more tayloring than the merchants can do to the "T".

If he was a "Big Spender"....like a lot of the "image" concious politicians...then he might spend big bucks on clothing like some of them do.

Actually the ill fit of some of his suits has endeared me to him. Makes him a real person instead of one of those "Catalogue" politicians...who have not one "hair" out of place...and suits are purchased custom made.

Still all in all, Wes still carries himself in a way where he looks Heck of dignified with outstanding bearing ....which is more than I can say for some (custom fit and all!)

[Adelante]

46. Kerry has the best hair on the list

Voted "other"

[The Night Owl]

52. I voted for Biden!

I voted for Biden, but only because I feel sorry for whatever he has going on up there on his head.

[iconoclastNYC]

58. Of course it's "The Breck Girl"

lol...best...taunt...ever...

[Crunchy Frog]

59. A good, thoughtful, intelligent article on the subject of candidate's hair

from the Guardian no less.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1131967,00.html

[LandOLincoln]

62. Crunch, you WERE being sarcastic, right? n/t

[Crunchy Frog]

66. Well, it's about as thoughtful and intelligent as the subject deserves.

:P

[ChiciB1]

60. There Is No Doubt....

Johnnie (my nominee) EDWARDS!!!

He also has CHARISMA!

[Cocoa]

61. is Bill Richardson running?

if so, Richardson hands down.

[FrenchieCat]

63. Can you imagine him as a chubby newborn baby with lotsa hair?

cause I can!

[greblc]

73. Is Jesse Ventura is the running?

[PresidentObama]

79. Well if you were a wrestling fan, you'd know

He said at some wrestling event back in like April, that he wanted to run in 2008. He has no chance. Or no hair :)

[karynnj]

80. Kerry

I would support Kerry even if he were bald, but his hair seemed to look great when ever he was photographed last year.
