This one I just read about would be in contention. Yes, please check out this Yahoo Article about how Sarah Palin’s looks might have hurt the election.
Look, I am no fan of Sarah Palin, and yes I planned on voting for Obama long before her Vice Presidency was announced. However, to say that her looks had an effect on her perception of competency and humanity is completely idiotic! Seriously! Were all these people in the test hiding under a rock for the last year? They didn’t see any of the campaign? The interviews, specifically the interview with Diane Sawyer? None of these things had any chance to effect people’s perceptions on her competency and humanity? You cannot make a survey about someone who was in the news for months and not expect anything that was reported to bias people in any way.
This seems like just another way to besmirch Sarah Palin. Which I sort of find funny cause she doesn’t need help in that department…
