US PRESIDENTS ... SOLD BY WEIGHT



I am indebted to Normblog for drawing our attentiaon to a fascinating article in the NY Times in which it is made clear that politics has little to do with the outcome of US Presidential Elections.

It is all in the height and weight, apparently. Heavier, taller candidates do far better than their shorter lightweight (sorry, lighter) opponents.
