If winning the popular vote in the latest beauty poll has any implications on the 2012 Presidential Election, Barack Obama is looking good.
In what is being dubbed as the largest political beauty poll in history, Sarah Palin edged out former President Bill Clinton as the most attractive politician in the game.
Thousands of Americans voted in the poll on BeautifulPeople.com, a site usually devoted to being the most exclusive online dating community on the web.
Of the 10 candidates listed in the poll, the majority of the 57,000 voters designated Palin as “favorable.” That’s good news for the front runner of the Tea Party.
Voters also found Bill Clinton to be 23 percent more attractive than his wife, and current Secretary of the State, Hillary Clinton.
President Obama finished fourth while Mitt Romney placed seventh in the rankings. Pollsters found Obama has a 15 percent more favorable look than his Republican challenger.
Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan came in sixth on the poll, one spot ahead of the leading man on the GOP ticket.
Top 10 Most Attractive Politicians:
Politician % favorable vote Sarah Palin (R) 64% Bill Clinton (D) 63% Gavin Newsom (D) 61% Barack Obama (D) 57% John Boehner (R) 54% Paul Ryan (R) 47% Mitt Romney (R) 42% Joe Biden (D) 42% Hillary Clinton (D) 40% Joe Kennedy (D) 39%
But it wouldn’t be a complete superficial survey without a separate poll to determine the nation’s ugliest politicians.
Top 10 Ugliest Politicians:
Politician % favorable vote Barney Frank (D) 8% John McCain (R) 8% Chris Christie (R) 9% Newt Gingrich (R) 14% Ron Paul (R) 16% Nancy Pelosi (D) 24% John Edwards (D) 28% George Bush (R) 30% Al Gore (D) 32% Michele Bachmann (R) 32%

Um, they got Bachmann and Hellary mixed up in the ratings.
I don’t think their listing of “ugliest” is correct.
They have merely listed the ten who scored the least of “most attractive”.
One can surmise no one was asked to list the ugliest politician.
This looks like the sole purpose of reporting was to list *A* George Bush among the “worst” (least attractive) and the Great Clinton and the Fraud among the most attractive.
... above of course, Mitt Romney.
Slick is a very distant second.
Ugly politician? I think of Hollywood’s very own Henry Waxman, MD’s Barabara Mikulski
I had the “pleasure” of meeting Clinton in Arkansas while he was governor and I was in college. I was a confused liberal back then, so there was no political bias. There was/is nothing attractive inside or out about him. He tried to flirt with some of the girls in my group and he came across as a pervert to the women and a pandering sleaze to the men, the epitome of a disgusting politician - and having been in school government, I had met several prominent ones.
Please, someone explain his appeal to me because I have never understood it.
Just damn.
Ehhh, I am reminded of a saying about homemade soap. And those pants just scream radical feminist.
I agree. She's got better legs than Bubba. And a HELL of a lot better ones that his wife, Cankles.
Bill Clinton looks like W.C. Fields, only drunker.
If you hollowed out one of Hillary’s legs it would make a nice umbrella stand.
“Please, someone explain his appeal to me because I have never understood it.”
I worked nearby some proud-to-be-liberal women in their 30’s and 40’s around 1993-1994 and they gushed about his “charisma” after whatever speech he made the night before.
I didn’t see it either, but that’s what fascinated them, and they never met the Great Clinton.
There’s a certain type of woman who is attracted to bad boys. The badder the boy the better. The reasoning being, if they can tame a guy no other woman can tame, that makes them an extra special kind of woman.
Their ranks are overflowing with delusional female Democrats.
I believe in political absolution. Say three "I love Ronald Reagans" and you're forgiven my child.
“There’s a certain type of woman who is attracted to bad boys. The badder the boy the better. The reasoning being, if they can tame a guy no other woman can tame, that makes them an extra special kind of woman.”
Hmm... So are the women who pursue death row inmates worse than the perverted Democrat politician lovers?
