It would in the case of Kerry, cause both he and his wife are about two of the most homely politicians I've seen so far..

I would rather see Iraq's borders be flooded with terrorists and we fight them over there than in the U.S.Plato said:Avatar,
You make a strong case but one which I am afraid to say is flawed. After 9/11 there was an outpouring of sympathy and affection from across the globe for the United States. It was a golden opportunity to create the global alliance necessary to defeat terrorism and yet that opportunity was squandered. Sadam Hussain was and is an evil man but there is no proven link with Al Quaeda and the result of Bush's strategy in Iraq is an increase in world terrorism and the deaths of over 1000 brave young Americans. I have to ask what kind of conservative commits troops to a war without an exit strategy. President Bush was told by many within the Pentagon and I suspect in private by Colin Powell that many more troops would be needed in order to deal with the aftermath of the war but that advice was ignored and now Iraq's borders are leaking like a sieve with foreign terrorists entering the country at will. In addition while President Bush has been pre-occupied with Iraq, North Korea has nuclear weapons and even more worryingly, Iran, a real sponsor of terrorism which hates the US even more than Iraq did, is well on the way to developing them. It really grieves me to say it about a Republican president but it requires and will continue to require intelligence to win the war on terrorism and frankly George W Bush and intelligence do not belong in the same sentence.
