RandomAnthony | 14536 comments A candidate for governor in Florida is bald, and people are questioning whether or not his baldness will play a role in his electability.

What do you think? I don't know. I don't think a causal relationship can be established between not having hair and not getting elected. He also has kind of weird ears.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments yeah, bald guys are usually entirely too sexy for public office

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I'd vote for you, baby! I'd be your campaign manager. We'd have awesome campaign picnics.


message 4: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments our campaign slogan would be:

"Can't guarantee it won't be worse but it def will be more fun"

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments and if i got to throw the first pitch out at a ball game you can be damn sure i would not bounce it to the plate. i would shake off the catcher and then bring the high heat. they'd say "that SOB is like electing nolan friggin' ryan for pres"

Lori I think bald men can be very sexy. Also intelligent looking. But yeh, we as a society sure do pin a lot on hair! His campaign slogan should be he won't be tax dollars on his hair.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments what? cleaning the toilet?


message 8: by Phoenix (new)

Phoenix (phoenixapb) | 1619 comments also great for making the kitchen sparkle!


message 9: by Lori (new)

Lori I don't get that either? My bald husband doesn't go near it!

Well I mean to clean it.

Or are we talking about hands?

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments meet my publicist, ms petra....


message 15: by ms.petra (new)

ms.petra (mspetra) thank you Kevin. Also Sean Connery is dreamy! A guy I used to work with who was follicley (sp) challenged said he didn't waste his testosterone growing hair...... just sayin :)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Why does hardly anyone ever throw a good first pitch? Obama's was sad. Maybe it's the pressure.

We could hand out water balloons that say "Aim for Kevin" on them, and small children could toss them at each other while you're demonstrating how to shoot flames in the air with an outdoor fryer.


message 17: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments on the campaign trail i would do a thing called "Hey Ya'll Watch This" where i would try/do stupid things with people all over the nation. in ME i would work on a fishing boat for a day, in FL i would go gator hunting, in AL i would cook BBQ, in IN i would do a lawnmower race at a county fair. it would be huge and i would totally get the avg joe vote as i fall off of bucking bronco's and catch my eyebrows on fire with a homemade cannon in TN


message 18: by Lori (new)

Lori Haha! Brilliant.


message 19: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Aren't baldness and facial hair and lack of height all things that have been proven to affect electability? I think there have been studies.

Bald men, on the other hand, make great supervillains.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments yeah well STUDY THIS !!

I saw an article today in the Denver paper about the local team winning in football scientifically being linked to the success of the incumbent local politicians.


message 22: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments think i will follow sarah's advice and become a supervillain. that sounds much more fun than a politician anyway although both are usually somewhat evil and have secret lairs


message 23: by ms.petra (new)

ms.petra (mspetra) too bad, I was looking forward to reading about your plans in the remaining states. Moose hunting in Alaska perhaps?


message 24: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments def. with a bow. and picking strawberry's in CA. a ranch hand in WY and working in a cheese factory in WI.

I've heard that RA needs a nemesisisis. Maybe you guys could pair up?
