Who is the best-looking politician in the U.S.?

[begin_within]

My nomination would be California State Assembly majority leader Dario Frommer (D-Glendale)

[Sanity Claws]

1. John Edwards

is the best looking IMHO.

[WA98296]

I concur.

[mondo joe]

14. He's the love child of Dennis Quaid and Sam Neil!

[Dinger]

38. Yes, He Is Cute. I Had A Pic Of Him & I Taken Together, With His Arm Arou

around me! Whee, I just melted!

BUT, I've had the same situation with Wes Clark. BOTH very handsome men.

I'll vote for Clark over Edwards, but I just can't make the call on looks.

P.S. I'm too chickenshit to post these pics. Maybe some day. Some who post here know this is true. If I ever get my nerve worked up, I'll post 'em.

[applegrove]

53. Yes - Edwards is one good looking man. Lucky for him he seems to

be a great person too.

[applegrove]

54. Yes - Edwards is one good looking man. Lucky for him he seems to

be a great person too.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

64. I think that Edwards has radiant good looks but I don't find him

attractive. My younger son and I used to comment how "shiny" he looked. :)

[VolcanoJen]

72. No question!

[Snotcicles]

134. Henry Waxman without a doubt. n/t

[progressivebydesign]

2. Frommer is hot.. but I still like John Edwards best. n/t

[tatertop]

3. Gwen Moore, Maxine Waters, or Jennifer Granholm

come to mind

[TumorSupressor]

101. Granholm is a babe.

[rkc3]

4. Rick Santorum.

Start the flaming right now. I love to hear what people think about that asshat.

[Democrats_win]

16. He should where his pants on his head and show his good side.

[peekaloo]

80. He has monkey ears and a horse face.

but evolution has nothing to do with it.

[rpannier]

5. I think there's a city councilwoman in California

who's a former porn star. I don't know her name -- But, I'll pick her.

[butterfly77]

126. what about Coleman ...

of minnesota?

[ihaveaquestion]

6. Barack Obama!

The man is to DIE for!

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. Harold Ford too

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Inside or outside?

[mondo joe]

8. I always liked Jay Inslee

For preppy good looks, Jay Inslee:


For Professor-from-Gilligan's-Island-good-looks:


There's the suave Obama:


John Edwards who has that Sam Neil meets Dennis Quaid thing going on:

[helderheid]

12. We definitely have the same taste. MrrrOOOWwww to all of them, especially

Inslee and Obama

[mondo joe]

20. Now I'm just waiting for the obligatory "Why do looks matter?

Shouldn't politicians be judged on their policies?"

'Cause, you know, we can't judgethem based on policies AND note that some are attractive.

:eyes:

[helderheid]

37. right - one MUST be completely politically correct at ALL TIMES or ELSE.

:)

[jmowreader]

132. We are being politically correct!

It is completely politically correct to say that Jennifer Granholm and Mary Landrieu are very attractive women, and John Edwards and Barack Obama are very handsome men.

It's also politically correct to say that Tom DeLay and Jesse Helms were two of the ugliest men ever to walk the face of the earth, and they'd be ugly fuckers even if they were good honest liberals.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

63. Inslee is incredibly attractive. I also have had a thing for Al Gore. nt

[Missy Vixen]

88. Hey! HEY! That's MY Jay Inslee!

:blush:

I live just outside of his district, but I LOVES me some Jay Inslee! He's the best. One of his aides once told me that he purposely calls on me during "question and answer" at appearances because I ask him tough questions. :blush:

In the meantime, Mrs. Inslee, you are a lucky lady!

Julie
fortunately for me, my husband thinks this is funny...

[spuddonna]

97. lol You have to SHARE!

I never really looked at his pic - he IS handsome! :)

I send Jay letters all the time (his staff must roll their eyes when they see my email addy in the header!)... he seems like a really great statesman. We need more people like him in the party!

[shenmue]

10. I'm sorry Mrs. Edwards...

I have designs on him.

[Child_Of_Isis]

11. Obama. eom

[FreedomAngel82]

24. You can't forget

[texastoast]

27. I forgot.

Gorgeous.

[Democrats_win]

13. Mark Udall. JE is good too.

http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=Mark+Udall

[Applan]

15. Catherine Harris

Okay, just kidding!

[Democrats_win]

17. If she grew a wart, it would be an improvement.

[garybeck]

116. you made me laugh :)

[Coastie for Truth]

18. Barbara Boxer

<>

That's because she looks just like my wife.

[LynnTheDem]

59. Awwww! You deserve to get very lucky all wknd for that! Tell your

wife I said so.

What a sweetie you are! :)

[YDogg]

106. I concur.

Not that I know what your wife looks like. :-)

[smartvoter]

19. DeLay. Hands down, it has to be DeLay. nt

[Barking Spider]

79. So says his cellmate

[AlCzervik]

21. Gavin Newsome and John Edwards

[Scout1071]

103. I definitely concur on Gavin Newsome. Or should I say Gavin Handsome.

He's a hottie for sure.

[cynatnite]

124. Well, looking at him...

he's tied with John Edwards.

:wow:

[Roxy66]

22. John Edwards

[William769]

23. S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsome.

[mondo joe]

26. Oh HOW did I forget?

<swoon>

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. His Green challenger, Matt Gonzalez, was pretty adorable too

Really, SF seems to have more than its fair share of good looking politicians. *l*

[Justitia]

69. Isn't that David Cassidy of the Partridge Family??? LOL -eom

[GreenPartyVoter]

75. He does look like he's signing "I think I love you...." *lol*

[AnnieBW]

60. He Looks Like a Baldwin Brother

He looks like a young Alec Baldwin, before he gained weight. Or maybe Adam. ("Let's go be bad guys, and legalize gay marriage!)

[begin_within]

102. Now is he the walking definition of "metrosexual" or what?

[Behind the Aegis]

128. he's got my vote!

That man is HOT!

[texastoast]

25. John Edwards

No doubt.

[etherealtruth]

86. No doubt

That man is oh so hot

[undeterred]

28. Kerry and Edwards

[buzzard]

29. John Kerry, I have always loved the way he looks he isn't a pretty boy but

I find something about his face very appealing.

My grandmother always recited this, it is more about gum but also on appearances. Not sure if I remember it correctly and I don't know why it popped into my head on reading this post.


The gum chewing girl
The cud chewing cow...
Look somewhat alike
But different somehow
Oh, but wait... It is clear to me now,
It's the intelligent look
On the face of the cow!

[FreedomAngel82]

52. Oh yes

Kerry is cute but he's also a brilliant person and he has a heart and actually cares about people. He doesn't just say a few Bible verses here and there. Plus, Kerry was so cute when he was my age.

Isn't he so cute here?

[buzzard]

73. Yes he is indeed.

[FreedomAngel82]

91. I always love that picture

:) I love the hair too.

[smirkymonkey]

137. I agree.

I prefer Kerry's looks to the more pretty-boy types. Also, I never really found Clinton attractive either.

[greekspeak]

30. John Edwards...its the eyes

Everytime I see him speaking, I am drawn to those eyes...they sparkle like diamonds. He is also a handsome person, inside and out.

But Barak Obama is a looker, for sure, and Gavin Newsome too. Of all of them, I really think Barak has the most going for him as a politician. But Edwards too will always do good things for America.

[FreedomAngel82]

55. Yep

The democratic party has so many hot guys. *sigh*

[ernstbass]

31. John Edwards

and he's even better looking in person!!:-)

[stopbush]

32. Jennifer Granholm. She's smoldering!

[DrDan]

84. I'm with you

Jennifer Granholm!

[RepublicanElephant]

33. wesley clark

<>

[BOSSHOG]

34. There's something about Mary (Landrieu)

Especially when she's at the podium kicking some republicans ass; all that passion.

[Zynx]

40. I agree. For some reason I like Landrieu's looks.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

74. Yes

I agree with your assessment.

[leftchick]

36. Wes Clark!

:loveya:

[helderheid]

41. Is he a politician? If so, add him to my list

He is dreamy.

[ignatius 2]

131. Ooh la la, I agree..I love the look of intelligence in his eyes.

He is fine!!!

[pointblank]

39. Mary Carey!

:rofl:

[prolesunited]

42. Wow

Could we be any more shallow? What difference does it make if a person smiles at you dazzingly while stabbing you in the back?

[demnan]

43. Mark Warner - outgoing Governor of Virginia

and part of the future of our party.

[WePurrsevere]

44. Umm.. ALL are very nice choices but Patrick J. "Bulldog" Fitzgerald is....

rather handsome as well and I have always found intelligent, eye sparkling, "kick butt" men rather umm... stimulating. ;) (I may be married but I'm not dead yet. :D )

Patrick Fitzgerald

[Catherine Vincent]

47. And he would be upset with you if he is considered a "politician." :)

[WePurrsevere]

51. Sorry... for some reason I thought he was in or had a voted into position.

Guess I was muddling it up and thinking he was an Attorny General like NY's Spitzer :banghead:(or maybe it's wishful thinking.;) )

[FreedomAngel82]

56. He's handsome too

I don't think he's of any political party though. Which is nice to have as well. :)

[Coexist]

58. I like a smart, sexy geek as much as the next woman

(I'm married too, but there is just something about that man!)

[RepublicanElephant]

45. ...and of course, if he were still with us...

john-john
not officially a politician, but was on his way.

can you believe he's been gone 6 years now?

[Justitia]

50. He was absolutely the most beautiful man I have ever seen.

Not a single flaw.

[FreedomAngel82]

57. Aww

:cry: He was going to be one (senator I believe). :( Just think he could be a Senator for New York now. :(

[WinkyDink]

115. Terrible tragedy

The zenith of good looks, with a good heart.
Fate sucks sometimes.

[SharonRB]

122. If he was in the running, he'd get all my votes

[Ksec]

46. Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton are tied

I think both women are hot.

[WePurrsevere]

111. IMO Hillary looks so better now then she did years ago...

and as a Senator for NY, other then the Iraq war vote, I truly can't complain about most of what she's done. I rather admire her for actually traveling the state and getting to know her constituents. She's even been up here in North Poodunk quite a few times meeting with folks and participating in functions. In the local newspaper pictures she looks even more relaxed with the farmers and their families then with the elite of DC.

[SidDithers]

48. Stephanie Herseth, D from South Dakota...

Sid

[Ksec]

49. Yowser. Maybe Ill edit my choices..nt

[Fox Mulder]

77. I would have to pick her too.

:)

[JohnnyCougar]

85. Hot Damn! Contest over!

[Poiuyt]

117. I noticed she isn't wearing a wedding ring. Do you think she'll have me?

I want to marry her:

[RepublicanElephant]

61. oooh, i forgot christiane amanpour's hubby...

...

jamie rubin
clinton's assistant secretary of state.

[FreedomAngel82]

93. What a cutie!

Harry Reid is a cutie pie too!

[AnnieBW]

62. John Gianetti - State Sen for MD

My local State Senator for Maryland, John Gianetti. Too bad he's married...

[Justitia]

68. What a choirboy face! Central Casting: Lone Honest Politician -eom

[lamp_shade]

130. Jeeezzz... I though it was Russell Crowe

[nonconformist]

65. Senator Dan Mongiardo (D)

My state senator. Pictures do not do this man justice, he is gorgeous in person!



If he can be considered a politician, Wes Clark also makes me weak in the knees!

[RepublicanElephant]

66. okay, okay, one more, i promise...

detroit mayor kwame kilpatrick

[maveric]

67. Juan Vargas. CA State Assembly.

I hope he runs against Feinstein in the primaries.

[Justitia]

70. Can't leave this out - HOT !!!

[FreedomAngel82]

94. That one is SO hot!

*sigh* Great picture!!

[sonicx]

71. Jennifer Granholm is very hot

[TumorSupressor]

104. Schwingggg!!

[d59cy6]

76. I nominate Harld Ford

from Tennessee

[FreedomAngel82]

95. Here is a picture of Ford

[helderheid]

78. Matheson is cute in a plastic sort of way

[ourbluenation]

81. Hello - Obama!!!!!

[ourbluenation]

82. damn - just.damn....he is fine

[nofurylike]

83. maxine waters, absolutely. eom

[FrenchieCat]

87. I'll say Wes Clark, for that Manly je ne c'est pas quoi,

mais certainment, quelle que chose de beaux!

For those hither "I'll kick some GOP ass while smiling" eyes....

[Tracer]

89. What?! No votes for Paul Hackett?

That guy has a 1,000 watt smile.

[helderheid]

90. damn you're right!

[ohio_liberal]

96. I vote for Paul Hackett!

:loveya:

[FreedomAngel82]

98. Oh yes

His family and he are cute too.

[stanwyck]

105. Another vote for Hackett

Oh, my.
And, as a woman, I have to say Granholm is a very formidable opponent for many reasons, including her good looks.

[SharonRB]

125. You took the words right out of my mouth

He's definitely on my list, which also includes Clark (best smile), the Big Dawg (still very sexy), Gavin Newsome, Kerry (not classic good looks, but I think there's something about him) and maybe a few others. Although Edwards is handsome, he's almost too pretty for my taste.

[Writer]

92. Candidate Zero!

Okay, okay. He only played a politician on TV... but really, don't they all???



C'mon, where's the LOVE?

[FreedomAngel82]

99. Well in that case

I nominate Brad Whitford, Martin Sheen and Jimmy Smitts.

[Thirtieschild]

100. Wes Clark

[mamalone]

107. OK...my 19yo daughter and I had tons'o'fun with this thread!

I say a tie between Wes Clark and Al Gore...(swoooon)

daughter is torn between Barack Obama and "that-guy-up-there-without-a-shirt-on-whatever-his-name-is"

Hey...who says politics is boring????:P

[Justitia]

109. "that guy up there without a shirt on whatever-his-name-is" = Howard Dean

Democratic Nat'l ChairStud

:D

[mamalone]

110. wow...gulp...

THAT is Howard Dean??? He is cute now, but wowee-zowee what a looker he was in younger days!!


edited to add my 6yo son's comment..."Boy, that guy looks powerful!"
ummmm...I agree;-)

[Straight Shooter]

108. Gov. Brian Schweitzer of Montana makes my knees weak.

I've just got a "thang" for big rugged men who look good in jeans! And he's a straight shooter, too. ;)



Good thing I'm sitting down, 'cuz I'm feelin' faint already :loveya:

[mia]

112. Wes Clark!

[mia]

113. also Rush Holt...

[elcondor]

129. Whoa, that second pic looks like

an intense moment! I don't remember that from the debates!

In my opinion it's Clark or Gore

[mia]

136. It's Clark and Dean during the commercial break of " Rock the Vote".

"Perhaps the most interesting moments of the night were those the viewers at home did not see. During the first commercial break, after Dean made an on-camera reference to Clark's support of the war in Iraq, the two had a brief but intense verbal confrontation, their faces only inches apart."

http://jsons.collegepublisher.com/media/paper139/news/2003/11/01/Politics/An.Insiders.Glance.At.rock.The.Vote.Boston-570000.shtml

Here's another photo from that event.

[bumblebee1]

114. There's a writer on the website Republicanpress

who bills herself as a proper Republican lady. But, whenever she writes about the hot Democrat men, she gets very hot and bothered. Republican Press is a website that is known for satire. The writer's name is Kathleen Kuntly. She Mann Coulter with looks and a sense of humor. I laugh every time I read her column. Don't know if she swings both ways, but there are some more men she can drool over while being a proper Republican lady.

www.Republicanpress.com

[Adelante]

118. So many gorgeous Dems!

Here's my vote.

[mb7588a]

119. Maria Cantwell.

In person her eyes are just incredible.

[Beaverhausen]

120. Frommer is pretty hot! And those pics don't do him justice

He came and spoke at a Dean meeting during the campaign. He was so cool...told great Arnold stories. He is hot!

I think Antonio Villaraigosa is pretty hot,too.



Do you live in Glendale too? :hi:

[MarsThe Cat]

121. i likes mine...freaky

and she's a SUPER-Freak.

[MarsThe Cat]

123. but...she has looked better.

tell me you wouldn't like a ride on that...(especially if she was facing the other way, screaming NO, and the lube bottle was empty)

[butterfly77]

127. Barack Obama and Wes Clark

;-) ;-) ;-)

[AgadorSparticus]

133. I nominate Wes Clark. That is one HANDSOME man!!!!

and on the younger end, I say Gavin Newsome comes in a close second.

[tatertop]

135. I am surprised none of the women nominated Pat Paulson

What is this world coming to?

[Obamarama]

138. What about Russ??!!

Mr. Feingold is one of the hottest Dems in a suit if you ask me. And, a nice Jewish boy to boot. Oy. What's not to like? Grrrrrrrrrr! :smoke:
