Mitt Romney's Hair
|
| |
 John Edwards has to be the first example I've ever seen of a flat stomach and bouncy, boyish hair working against someone. Edwards is 54 years old but is dismissed by the media and many potential voters, I believe, because he looks so youthful. On Chris Matthews' Sunday show I recall someone saying, back in 2004, "Edwards is a young guy. He's got lots of time." He was 50! How much older does he have to get before he's allowed to move away from the kiddie table?
Hair is not just an issue for Democrats, though. I'm distracted by Mitt Romney's hair. The great Eric Von Haessler once said, "I never trust a man who's wearing a toupee, because right away he's trying to convince you of something that isn't true."
The same rule applies to Mitt Romney's hair. It's so obviously dyed. I'm sure John Edwards' hair doesn't really have that blondish-brown color anymore, but whoever is doing his dye job is doing a light years better job than Romney's guy. There should not be a sharp line of demarcation between an unnatural, almost Goth-like blackness and white sideburns. That does not occur in nature.
Really both of these guys should learn from Bill Clinton. Bill started his campaign for president in 1991 with dark brown and entered the White House with natural, presidential white. And hey, the chubby interns still found him attractive enough to play with his cigar box, so what the heck?

Actually, if that were true we'd have to distrust make-up and lighting for men, women and every candidate.
Airbrushed photos and carefully lit interviews? More optical illusions. Just working out and eating right are sometimes done for appearance's sake.
The Kennedy-Nixon debate may have started it. The healthy glow versus a sallow complexion. JFK and FDR both controlled the cameras to hide their physical deformities. That got the ball rolling for all of us, the TV generation.
