3. Fred Thompson's wife is roughly half his age, and about the same age as the kids from Thompson's first marriage. How much does the physical appearance of the presidential candidate's spouse matter?

I'm not supporting Mr. Thompson, but if he's elected, I hope his marriage starts a trend of attractive, younger women marrying older guys. Maybe I'd finally have a chance for someone fun.

Again, I don't support Mr. Thompson, but even I think this question is a little out of bounds.

I think that the point of the article was to illustrate that many voters pick a candidate for reasons unrelated to politics.

In fact, I think a major portion of the electorate does this.
