Can a bald guy get elected President?
If you scroll way down in Steve Stark's latest column on the presidential race, you'll be reminded that a candidate without hair on the top of his head has not been elected to the White House since TV took over nearly 50 years ago. That's bad news for several of the current crop of candidates:
Rudy, who's given in to the chrome dome after years of a laughable comb-over that tended to look like an Italian yarmulke;
McCain, who's now growing it three feet long and brushing it up from the middle of his back;
and Biden, who's got the Donald Trump look down just right.
Of course, Stark should know about this:

It's even worse than you think: Eisenhower was our last bald president. He beat Adlai Stevenson. The voters had no choice.

I guess the Kerry/Edwards defeat was the exception to the Breck factor.
Good hair/winning smiles across the Democratic Big Hair ticket couldn't defeat a balding/frowning Cheney and a lip biting/ High & Tight Bush.
Incumbency Rules?

If hair was a factor, we'd now be under the watch of President "Pompadour" Kerry and his sidekick, VP "Breck Girl" Edwards.

It's not better hair we're talking about here. It's any hair vs. no hair. No hair loses.
