My vapid co-worker is going to vote for Mittens because 'he's a hunk'!!

She told a bunch of us over lunch as she giggled. She is 40ish, attractive and a bit man-hungry. I asked her if that was a good enough reason to vote for the guy? She said, 'well, if I'm going to look at a president for four years I want HIM to be attractive.' Then off she went leaving the rest of us (two guys and three women) looking at each other in utter disbelief.

BTW, I don't think this guy is so bad looking (and he's smart too):

in the eye of the beholder, because I don't see anything attractive about that man. I've never heard other women discuss his looks either.

and tape it to her television set for the next four years. Pretty much the same thing as Romney.
