[quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]On the issue of height for men, I don't think the issue is that anyone consciously votes for the taller candidate, but rather that height correlates remarkably well with winning. The easiest explanation is that voters subconsciously feel that the taller candidate is more presidential. Perhaps one day we'll look back and realize that less attractive, sterner women strike people as more presidential -- Thatcher types. That's just a possibility, not a prediction.[/quote] Yes, I'm curious if a truly strikingly attractive woman could be elected president - probably not the first president, but maybe further down the line. Women are held to a higher standard, and being "serious" and not overly concerned with looks (vain, frivolous, spending too much time on beauty and not enough on policy, etc) might be a requirement for the trailblazers (think Merkel, too).
