What do American Presidents have in common? Well, if a New York-based hair doctor is to be believed, all of them had good hair to begin with.
According to the New York Daily News, Dr. Gary Hitzig says he can predict election outcomes by looking at a candidate's haircut.
Hitzig, a transplant specialist who has worked with an unnamed presidential candidate in the '90s and is now helping "somebody big in city government" boasts his theory has never failed him.
"Go back to each election and look at it. [Modern] Presidents who are bald or have bad hair have always got in through proxy rather than by election. Who's been elected who hasn't had a great head of hair? Look at [Ronald] Reagan, [Jimmy] Carter, even Nixon had good hair when he was younger. George Bush Sr. had a good head, but then he went against Clinton, who had exceptional hair," Hitzig was quoted as saying.
"Eisenhower didn't have much hair, but he ran against Adlai Stevenson, who had even less than him. Herbert Hoover was bald, but it was in the pre-television era, so image didn't matter as much," he added.
"The only exception is Russia, where it seems the candidate with the less hair usually wins. Hair makes a man, and it makes him more desirable. Kerry's in his 60s, but he looks younger because of his hair. Imagine him if he was bald. He would look nowhere near as attractive to voters as he does," he further added. (ANI)
I guess Tom Daschle will never be President.
It certainly worked for Al Sharpton.
Dwight David Eisenhower.
That explains Jim Traficant.
He beat ole baldy Adlai. I personally like GWB hair better than fop Kerry.
In a society where sheeple worship celebrities, is it any surprise that there is a great deal of truth to this theory?
Women are the worst offenders in this regard. It's not uncommon to hear women discuss their voting preferences based solely on the appearance of the candidate. Makes one really consider the wisdom of passing the Nineteenth Amendment.
Kerry looks younger than 60? Not.
Perhaps a secret toupee could be worn by someone who has bad hair and wants to win. This is in the future, after this election.
We like IKE
On the other hand Laura Bush has better hair than Teresa or whats her name Edwards.
I prayed for 8 years for Clinton to go bald. He would look just like a clown.
But God let him keep the hair...still can't figure out why.
(He works in mysterious ways)
I guess I can forget a career in politics.
I may be bald, but you're ugly, and I can wear a hat.
I'll never be president since I'll probably be bald in my 30's. LOL. Wouldn't want the job anyway.
Duh.
