Preppy is the New Hipster

Whose better looking democrats or republicans?

Okay, so. Typically my answer has always been Republicans...the way I see it, there are two inter-related explanations for this, 1-I went through my years of sexual exploration (hopefully they aren't over...fingers crossed) when Bush was in the white house (well Clinton too lets be honest, but I was still a guppy at that point). and 2-I'm a power junkie. Another secondary reason, was this elongated southern phase that i went through at some point. I like the way they say my first name, and the bow-ties are just hot. RSK was kind of the icing on the cake of this phase, having it all save the bow-tie.

I think times they may be a changin' and I don't mean that is the populist Obama way, I mean it is the superficial Ruthie B way of basing political choice on aesthetics. I mean duh, its not new.

So I have been watching the DNC and the RNC on nytimes clips. So much for the Michael Jackson song, 'dont matter if your black or white'(one of my all time favs). I think I saw like 5 shots of black people at the RNC. The DNC enjoyed a much higher percentage of white people, young white people. Anyway so here is the skinny on levels of attractiveness of the political parties

DNC-lots of weepy superemotional(based on racial segregation, and the so-called need for american unity), young-ish, mostly moderately attractive multi-ethnic people, starting to look better the closer obama gets to the white house. I think we can thank michele obama's stylist and her jackie 'o steeling tactics for a boost since the clinton years.

RNC-lots of weepy superemotional(though unclear as to why, bc they are scarred of iran, russia?) doughy pastey mid-westerners, older, flabby. there are some token hottie in bow-ties and some barbie looking cindy mccain wannabes, but mostly just a stale looking crowd.

I have to keep thinking about this, more on it later, there is too much information to convey here.
