In HD Obama Looks Better Than Mac, Hill
The crisp clarity is a friend to the Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolies of the world, but for candidates pushing 60 or 70, she can be a harsh mistress: For Hillary Clinton, HD makes her look much older. "She has a lot of wrinkles, more than you realize," "When you see her in analog television, you don't think 60-year-old but in HD, it's like "oh yeah, 60-year-old."
John McCain's previous bouts with skin cancer also show up in more detail. "It's scary," says Swann. "But some can argue that it makes him more sympathetic because you realize all the scars, literally and figuratively, that he's gone through over the years."
Finally, Barack Obama is the one who really benefits, mostly. "You can see why people love him as far as charisma," says Swann. "Although, he has these veins that pop out of his forehead when he gets worked up, so I wonder if he has some blood pressure issues."
In our beauty-obsessed culture, this is a not-insignificant consideration. Once the general election campaign begins in earnest, more and more eyeballs will be drinking in the sundry candidates' mugs, and despite voters' security concerns, nobody wants a Gargoyle-in-Chief . The campaigns would do well to remember this, and maybe get in touch with John Edwards' stylist.

Tommy Christopher:
People who live in glass houses, should not throw stones. Have you taken a good look at your own mug lately?
michele2:30PMApr 11th 2008
Oh yeah, Hillary looks better than McCain so says the latest poll Mr. Christopher: 48% to 45%. McCain looks better than Obama. Where is your blog on this? Or how come it is extremely hard to find an article about how Obama is flip-flopping again. This time about public financing. He was for it, but now that he is raking in the money, he's against it. Your right, he is the candidate for change. YOURS, keep on giving it to him, so he can try to buy the voters of PA, then the USA. Stupid blog, but anything to make your candidate look better. Btw, you have never answered my question about why Obama took his name off of the Michigan ballot.
michele2:30PMApr 11th 2008
Here is the reason the media spins for Obama...Oprah backs Obama, Obama wins many states in Super Tuesday because whatever Oprah sells, people buy. Her advertising goes up. People who own these tv stations own the news, web sites, and so on. The more people give to Obama the more he spends on advertising. It is one big circle, O.

To tell you the truth,If Jesse isn't running I'm not voting,they are all crooks,Jesse call it as he sees it

Obama is a liar,McCain is another version of the Bush Idiot,Clinton is pro NWO,
Jesse Ventura for PRESIDENT
Nick2:45PMApr 11th 2008
Ok Tommy I'd like to ask you a few questions then.
When do you plan on telling us why it is that you support Obama? What qualifications of his make you think he is the best candidate to be president of the United States?
It's clear to see he's the candidate you support with all your pro-obama posts.
And don't give me a load of crap and say he is the only candidate who can unify America and bring a new kind of politics to Washington because that's just a bunch of bullshit.
nick2:46PMApr 11th 2008
lol.
nicely put Isabella

Thank you Rob.
Great site
Diana3:15PMApr 11th 2008
LOL, Tommy. I know that you were assigned this piece and that you are not a superficial person, so certain readers ought to cut you some slack here. I liked the Edwards remark.
Isabella....believe me, you don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you'd like to give one up of yourself!
What I was going to say is that I give Hillary and anyone else in the public realm much credit for not opting for plastic surgery, unlike John Kerry, for example. She can grow older gracefully, as she has a natural beauty despite the wrinkles which David Knowles knows about all too well (posts the worst HC pix ever. LOL). BTW--it would not be surprising if Obama does indeed have hypertension, as AAs have disproportionately high rates of this dx (and of heart disease).
tzada3:43PMApr 11th 2008
Tiger Woods, Obama is NOT. No racist remark intended, so don't hate on me. No stretch of the imagination can I think Obama is a nice looking man.
LMAO the first time I saw Obama's purple mouth I thought it was my TV. His ears are too large. His lying mouth is too purple. Other than that I guess he is alright.
Hillary has aged since the campaign started. It has been rough. She maybe should take the time for a skin peel, lazar, just small things. They will make her look better and feel it too.
Now John McCain is older, and it shows. But dang for an older man he sure looks good.
mrbline3:58PMApr 11th 2008
Since we are on the subject of looks . . .
Can someone tell me what the heck is that huge bulge on the left side of McCain's face?

From me: Oprah's rating have gone way down since she endorsed Obama. You can follow the decline in this article. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/04/oprahobama.html

Could be photo shop, could be a wad of tobacco, could be fat. Could be he has a big big smile cause he is ahead in the polls. Still a good looking older man.
Sunny4:25PMApr 11th 2008
Who says he looks better? Better that ugly that he does not in High Def?
tzada4:42PMApr 11th 2008
Not only “DOES” he look better in HD now this. Is he now a philosopher or a psychiatrist?
From Obama’s own lying lips.
On small-town PA: Clinging religion, guns, xenophobia from Obama's remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday, and they include an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania that won't be appreciated by some of the people whose votes Obama's seeking:
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
That's a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss.

Ooops I meant to stay on topic and say nice things about Barack but my finger slipped and I posted it too fast.
Tommy I hope like Diane says, you were assigned this post. You seem like a manly man and I wouldn't like to think other wise.
tzada4:50PMApr 11th 2008
Meant to post how handsome Obama was on my last post in order to stay on topic, but my fingers slipped and it posted away.

Diane6:15PMApr 11th 2008
He make look good but when asked a question he can't speak. Obama studders, if a speech isn't written for him he cannot get any of his thoughts out.
