lol, back in '56 pretty much everyone Liked Ike. Same in '52, but I was only four years old then. My mother's father was a Roosevelt Democrat, which was a bit difficult for him as a railroad executive, but he managed. She had Dem sympathies. But on the other hand, a college friend had married one of Eisenhower's aides, so she Liked Ike.
Fortunately, she didn't like Nixon.
And yes, Pritzer should lose weight. It's a shame that we judge politicians by the way they look, but we do.
