New Hampshire is having itself a congressional race between two women: the Democratic incumbent is Ann McLane Kuster and she is being challenged by Republican Marilinda Garcia.

New Hampshire Republican state Rep. Steve Vaillancourt decided that he needed to blog about the race.  And, bless his little ole Republican heart, he got right to the meat of the matter.

“Let’s be honest. Does anyone not believe that Congressman Annie Kuster is as ugly as sin? And I hope I haven’t offended sin …”

Vaillancourt stresses that the Republican woman in the race “is one of the most attractive women on the political scene anywhere” so that means she will win.

Vaillancourt said that he’s pretty much an expert on this stuff because he read a study somewhere sometime that says that better looking people win political races.  He does allow …

The two caveats…if I heard correctly…were 1) That the two candidates must be of the same sex for the race in question; and 2) That the attractive candidate not be so drop dead gorgeous as to intimidate those watching.

Which, of course, explains all the ugly men in congress.  Including Vaillancourt —

And in case you’re thinking that’s just a bad picture.  Nope.

Hunka Hunka Burnin’ Love!

Sweetie, I do not want to think about how your last opponent looked.

Thanks to Claudia and Stan for the heads up.
