Forbes polls for the Creepiest Presidential Candidates
They have the poll results with pictures and breakdown by gender linked to the article.

The winner is no surprise. 19% of those polled found Newt Gingrich to be the creepiest. Hillary, Gore, Romney, and McCain. Weirdly, Fred Thompson is the least creepy. I guess most folks haven't seen him without his Law and Order makeup. They also have a list of other nonsensical polls about presidential candidates linked to the article.

1. Despite my previously spoken criticisms, I'd put Gore well above Hillary.
Though how McCain could be considered 'least creepy' escapes me. The man's a nitwit who says the most bizarre things and won't even keep his promises (that $50/hr lettuce pickin' job sounded like a dream*, actually...).



* Outdoor work, exercise, fresh air, working with peers that like you, and at a wage that is a dream because I'd be ecstatic doing it for a mere $25/hr (so I'd be saving him 50% off already!) what more could anybody want???!

3. Heck, I'd go for $25/hr for picking lettuce.
Heck, I loaded square bails of hay in the August sun in SW Georgia when I was younger. Picking lettuce would be cake compared to that.

4. Here's the other polls.
Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 07:14 PM by seasat
The top five most appealing are Ghouliani, Fred Thompson, Obama, Gore, and Edwards.

The top five most intelligent are Obama, Fred Thompson, Ghouliani, Richardson, and McCain.

The top five most experienced are Ghouliani, McCain, Fred Thompson, Dodd, and Clinton.


Geez, with some of these answers, it's no wonder we have trouble getting our message out. MSM has turned the US public into idiots.

6. whoever they polled
are totally nuts. Guliani experienced...in what? Promoting himself. The whole poll was whacked when Tommy Thompson wasn't voted creepiest, with Guliani in second.
