Has anyone "hot" ever been on a Pres. ticket?
 
I mean, I'm not a good judge of dude hotness, but I'm curious is "sex appeal" has ever been used in an election.

I don't know.

Please explain on the form provided where you got the idea for this thread. Submit to management, in triplicate, by day's end.

Didn't women find JFK hot?

Flint 09-10-2008 03:51 PM

JFK. I thought of that right after I posted this thread.

morethanpretty 09-10-2008 04:14 PM

JFK for sure, and I think Bill Clinton had some appeal as a "charmer." I'm too young to think so, but I think I might've heard that somewhere one time...

Sheldonrs 09-10-2008 06:09 PM

JFK is the only one I'd blow. AFTER he rinsed the Marilyn off of it.

Clodfobble 09-10-2008 06:29 PM

Personally, neither JFK or Clinton would do it for me, not at all. Mitt Romney would have had a little bit, if he'd made it that far, and I know a few ladies who think Obama is hot.

footfootfoot 09-10-2008 08:26 PM

A woman I know met Clinton and she said he had disarming charisma in person. From what I've read chicks dig charisma.

wolf 09-10-2008 10:23 PM

JFK is it.

Looking back over all of the other contenders, I'd say that's it.

I never thought Clinton was as sexy as the MTV generation did.

jinx 09-10-2008 10:29 PM

I remember my grandmother being hot for Gary Hart...

SteveDallas 09-10-2008 10:33 PM

Surely one of the guys will confess to a hankering for Liddy Dole.

Right? Somebody? . . . . ...

(Yeah, I know she wasn't "on the ticket.")

The old, Republican housewives might not be "hot" as such, but there would be something to soiling their sanctity, and bringing shame upon their anus. Not so much of a sexual act as it would be a revenge against the sphincter of injustice. Shoe-horning a dissenting opinion into their internal dialogue.

Making them cry twice in one night?

Chocolatl 09-11-2008 08:47 AM

I always thought Franklin Pierce was good looking in a 19th century kind of way.

Shawnee123 09-11-2008 08:51 AM

I thought Michael Dukakis was a cutie. :blush:

I think his reputation in that department is fairly well documented. That list is pretty big for a sitting president, of couse we only heard rumors about JFK, so I guess he could give Willie a run for his money.

Pico and ME 09-12-2008 11:18 AM

I shook Clinton's hand at one of his book signings. He is definitely charismatic.

NOT that I was such a huge fan that I had to go...it was so close to where I live that I had to go for it. How many books do you have that are signed...in person...by a past president...huh?

smoothmoniker 09-12-2008 01:13 PM

I have a cookbooks written by and signed by a former White House executive chef ... does that count?

Pico and ME 09-12-2008 02:06 PM

Well...I suppose.

I almost had a piece of paper of George Bush Sr. thanking me for the use of my office, but my assistant nagged/whined it away from me.

glatt 09-12-2008 02:17 PM

For her first birthday, my daughter got a card from the White House, "signed" by Bill Clinton. I don't know how she got it. Maybe somebody in my family requested it and never told us.

jinx 09-12-2008 04:35 PM

My grandfather was a big wig with TVA, he showed me quite a few letters he'd received from Reagan back in the day.

And we have an official glass from Air Force 1 for some reason...

If we're including wives, then Jackie has to be on the list:

Complete and utter aside - the best part of my Mum's 60th birthday (so she told me on a recent visit) was a card I had arranged to have signed by her favourite actor. It surprised all of us, because I had it delivered to my brother's address and he had thrown away the stamped addressed envelope I provided for the card to be returned in. So it was only when Mum started opening her cards at lunch and I recognised the picture on the one she had just opened that I signalled my brother with my eyes. About 2 seconds before Mum started screaming. It took us about 5 minutes to even convince her it was really from him.

I wrote him a thank you note, but I'd just like to say again - thank you Mr Edward Petherbridge, you are a gentleman. He not only signed it (and he has gorgeous handwriting) he drew a little pen and ink sketch of himself as Lord Peter Wimsey - the first role in which my Mum knew him.

I hope you washed it afterwards.

Goofy-goofiness-type thread responses aside, seriously now, Dan Quayle was thought to resemble Robert Redford about as closely as any senior politico would be likely to. Congresscritters of either house (Dan was in both) aren't exactly oil paintings. Not usually.
