Right. And I think Teddy had one too, but historians have claimed that Dewey lost to Truman because his mustache reminded people too much of Hitler. Fact? Maybe, but no politician since has had any. My simple point is that not all people vote rationally. Mustaches, smiles, 5 o'clock shadows, Clinton pursing his lips, Gore wandering over to Bush's podium...none of these things should matter, but they do. How about the Johnson ad that was anti-Goldwater showing a nuclear explosion...should that have been as effective, considering that Goldwater had never (to my knowledge) advocated that kind of violence?
So, would it be silly to vote for or against someone because of a smirk or a smile, yes...but it will still happen.
I also am tired of being told that since I will vote for neither of these people, I'm wasting my vote. Using that logic, whenever someone votes for the loser in an election, it must be a wasted vote. We should all wait and see what the poll says in November and vote for the one who is going to win to avoid wasting our vote. Irrational. I think not voting my conscience and for someone I think would be a good President is wasting my vote.
