yeah that is odd. I'm sitting here, watching the news and they had a clip of Kerry saying that People magazine named Edwards the sexiest man in politics. So tell me again what does that have to do with the campaign? Oh yeah...Kerry even made a comment about him and Edwards having better hair than Bush and Cheney. Sorry but having good hair and being the named People magazine's sexiest man in politics doesn't give someone the credentials needed if they ever have to take over the Presidency.

This is America in 2004, if the guy looks good on TV they're "qualified"

Anyway according to the Constitution there are only a few requirements in order to be qualified for President.  Both men discussed in this thread are qualified.

They are legally qualified to run but good hair doesn't make a good President. It really is sad that good looks suddenly make candidates qualified in the eyes of SOME voters.

Then the discussion should be about who will be the better (vice-)President not who is qualified.  I agree that it is sad that good looks suddenly make a candidate qualified, but it does explain a lot.
