Her looks definitely played a role, especially when she was introduced to the country as McCain's choice for VP. At this point, though, we're used to seeing her, and just like in a personal relationship, good looks only go so far. Once you become aware of who is really behind the pretty face, your opinion can change dramatically.

Palin needs a lot more than her looks if she wants to be President.

Would be a shock if she goes for presidency. There's simply not enough money in that position for her personal gain.

Oh in reference to my previous post where I wrote "Ivory" instead of "Ivy" it was not a mistake I meant what I wrote. I'm sure some of you can figure it out

If Palin was ugly, she would be more popular with the Democrats. They seem to like those manly looking women more.

If she were black, and all other features remained the same . . .

Personally, I don't know what I'd do if a black woman winked at me and said, "You Betcha!!"

Absolutely not. Sad that with all of our "advancements" and achievements, women are still only valued for their looks.

I think it's a stretch to say that women are only valued for their looks. You have to consider that men are much more visually-oriented than women are when it comes to finding someone attractive. You also have to look at all of the achievements that average-looking women have accomplished.

Also, if Palin had more substance to offer, her looks wouldn't matter so much. She is obviously using her appearance to her advantage; otherwise, she wouldn't have been entering beauty contests when she was younger, and she wouldn't be presenting herself the way she does today.

Aren't her supporters mostly men? I just see them as a bunch of current and past frat boys.

I remember reading a news story in '08 that said men usually outnumber women at Palin rallies by about 3 to 1.
