Kerry has the height advantage

Postby czeskleba » Wed Feb 18, 2004 12:13 am

Interesting fact: in 11 of the past 13 presidential elections, the tallest candidate has received the most votes. The two exceptions were McGovern (taller than Nixon) and Ford (taller than Carter). And of course Gore (taller than Bush) received the most votes but did not win the election. For this reason alone, 6'4" Kerry is the best choice for Democratic nominee, with Bush being 5'11", and Howard Dean being 5'8". (I'm not sure of Edwards' height, but I think he's shorter than Bush). Voters make their choices for arbitary and inconsequential reasons, and the Democrats should learn to use this to their advantage...

Bush needs a flight suit with platform shoes...
