The Republicans have cornered the market on beauty because they've cornered the market on crazy, and if they've failed to produce a "candidate" in Delaware, they've succeeded in producing a star, and have made all the tut-tutting pundits look as behind the times as the newspapers they serve. Wherever populism reared its head, there used to be sweaty men; now — in country music, at Fox, and in crossover "Islamaphobe" bloggers who get their picture pasted on the Sunday Times — there are at least semi-sexy women.
The Democrats didn't think they had to worry about any of this. They weren't looking for stars because they had the biggest star in the world as their president. He didn't have a populist bone in his body, but he was a deeply thoughtful man and a galvanic speaker both, and he promised to transcend the bone-grind of American politics. With his promise of one-man racial reconciliation, he was transfixing, but the independents who were transfixed by him needed to keep being transfixed, and on this, he couldn't deliver.

He sounds gay. Gay men are very petty in their writings.
He sounds both gay and pseudo-intellectual. I guess he’s from Boston, lol.
Methinks that Tom bats for the ‘other’ team.
I loved the crocodile tears of sorrow for the independents’ lack of understanding the wonderful Obama. Is this guy for real?
LOL.
His picture screams ... you know.
ROFL!
I'd like some of what this guy is taking.
Or maybe not.
Just from the excerpt above it is clear that this person is in the tank to the point he’d preach to concentration camp prisoners on the way into the gas chambers.
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” Biden
I am thinking of all the democratic women who are homely. Barbara Mikulski, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Rosanne Barr, Rosie (east coast lesbian), Hilliary Clinton, Teressa Heinz Kerry, Molly Yard of NOW, Elanor Smeal of NOW. None attractive !
Metrosexual at best, and definitely smarmy...
Wonderful comment, lol.

“Junod has worked as a writer for Esquire magazine since 1997. He also worked for Atlanta magazine, Life, GQ and Sports Illustrated. Junod has published such pieces as The Falling Man and a 2001 piece on R.E.M. lead singer Michael Stipe, in which he satirically fabricated information.”
The Left still hasn’t figured out each attack like this just ensures the anger stays white hot til election day.
Silly, silly, liberals....
The Democratic Party is boring. And its women are either old or unattractive.
“it turned against him when he stopped being entertaining. It turned against him when it found out his real secret — that under his professorial mien he was, well, a professor. Outside the enforced electricity of a national electoral referendum, he was dutiful, and he was dull.”
Doesn’t the above prove the authors assertion that dems don’t need stars but run on ideas? I mean, how is it, that as Esquire admits, Mr. Skittles is at best a boring professor (difficult assumption) but at the same time a super star for the electorate? I guess not going to Harvard prevents me from seeing the glowing intellect of Esquire’s opinions. Stupid me.
Gay men love women who look like men;) or those that take out the competition;)
My favorite kind of libs. They're just so entertaining when their bitterness is on full display.
