Mitt or Barack...Who is the better looking candidate ?

Who is the better looking (physical appearances) candidate in your opinion?

Mitt or Barack


Maybe some people can judge a book by its cover, certainly some folks in this great country of ours will vote based solely on a candidates appearance, please vote in this poll and base your decision on appearances only.

Whether you define appearance as: body language, shifty eyes, handsomeness, healthiness or whatever.....that is your decision.

Just vote for who you think looks better appearance wise, not policy or party wise, if that is even possible.

We had a president who used a wheelchair at times and IIRC that fact was basically kept from the public, other presidents have surely been quite fugly looking and others have been considered lady killers.

Let us know what you think.

Thanks!

PS: If users could refrain from posting derogatory pictures of either one, that would be much appreciated, surely we have all seen enough pics of them.

Living where I do I don’t actually see them on TV every day, though I of course know what they look like. But I just spent some time browsing Google images of the two and focused on flattering pictures. There are even a couple topless pics of both of them out there.

I think Obama is a decent looking guy, but if you didn’t know who he was I don’t think he would draw many second glances walking down the street. I think Romney might draw a couple. He has that older male model look going on. Judging from the two pics I saw it looks like Obama is a bit more cut than Romney but they both look good in a suit.

As much as I hate Romney, I think I have to give him the win in the good looks department.

Maybe it is my slightly bias subconscious playing in, but Romney has a rich, scumbag appearance to him..wonder why?

Thank you Sarcogito, that was an awesome reply to start this off.

For the record, it seems Romney is 6’ 2” and Obama is 6’ 1”

In the 13 presidential elections since the first televised presidential debate (Kennedy v. Nixon in 1960), the taller of the two candidates in the general election has won the presidency eight times. The shorter candidate has won four times, and there was one election in which the candidates were the same height. So if we discount the tie, the taller candidate has a two-to-one win/loss ratio.....

Yeah, I really had to focus not to let what I know about them personally influence my judgement. Not easy.

Time to put on my straight-girl lenses!

Mitt Romney: Not a bad looking guy by any means. He has a nice chin and cheekbones, great jawline. But he looks like that slightly off uncle who never makes eye contact when you talk to him. He's just...bland. I'd be more interested in a few of his sons.

Barack Obama: Is pretty handsome if you like skinny guys. I could pick apart his features for further analysis, but my overall conclusion would be that he's better looking than Romney in both the face and body department by quite a bit.

I have no doubt I'm biased, though. Obama seems to have a great family life and always acts so happily and respectfully toward his wife. Romney threw his wife under the bus after that whole Dressage thing. On the other hand, I'm sure many people see Obama as the very embodiment of evil, which might hurt his chances on a date.

Barack! Guy has got swagger.

Forgot the third option..."Who the F cares?"

So sorry, didn't take the time to add the 4th option either, for those who might be visually impaired.

Thanks for stopping in, appreciate the feedback.

I can't believe this is actually a poll... lol.

Ok, well, to me, they are both a lot older than me. I wouldn't check either of them out walking down the street. Since Obama looks younger than Romney, he is already winning. I think Romney looks stiff and not so much fun as Obama. Romney also seems to have that, I'am good Mormon boy attitude.

I see Romney looking guys in stock photos passing a plate of corncobs at picnics and barbecues around to their families. I have seen pictures of Obama smoking and kind of looking like Jimi Hendrix in college, and since I kind of prefer bad boys over the innocent, preppy, pretty boy Mormon/Christian thing, I'll go with Obama. I think he is more my type, and if they were in their 20's, I'd more than likely be friends with Obama than Romney.

This is going to make me sound super shallow, but the mole on Obama's face kills it for me. I just can't get past it. It's like that scene in the 3rd Austin Powers movie: "MOLE! It's a bloody MOLE! Right THERE on your FACE!!"

for 65 Mitt looks pretty good..
