To be fair to Wharton, I didn’t take that picture from her campaign website; it was one of the top hits in Google Image when I searched her name, and she looked too cute in it not to pick it out.
Wharton herself promoted that very photo all over the place .
Then you meet her in person and think “ Put on a little weight lately , have we ? “
I know politicians are always trying to put their best foot forward , but that’s disingenuous
