of course not, If Sarah were not a hot babe she would not be noticed in the least for her intellectual or even oratory skills. I can't stand her voice, shrill, imho but so is Hillary's when she gets excited. Same with Obama, as his V.P. said during the dem primary, articulate, nice looking ,, so on, so on. If Obama were not a smooth talker, deep voice, strong personality, he would also be nowhere for his skills or experience. Steve Forbes would have been a better mind for Prez than anyone the Pubs have put in the last 20 years but, can't imagine seeing his ugly mug in the oval office. fwiw hge
