Because people cast their vote, consciously and subconsciously, on such superficialities all the time.

I came to the realization that Kerry has more of a personality problem than I wanted to admit when I took the "who would you rather be stuck in a bunker with" poll. He came in dead last in my list, and he is my #2 choice. I just couldn't think of a reason that would make me want to spend a great deal of time with him. Even Lieberman came out ahead, because he has a good sense of humor, and I can imagine getting into interesting arguments with him.

People vote for President, in part, based on the idea that this is the guy they will have to live with for four years. He will be in your living room, on the TV, all over. Being easy on the eyes isn't such a bad thing, considering.
