*Kirsten Gillibrand* has just formally announced her candidacy for president. My first thought on looking at her picture in the WSJ is that she doesn't stand a chance because of her hair. Men need a full head of hair like Beto. Women need longer, flowing hair like Kamala. A hairdo like Kirsten's makes a woman candidate look not feminine enough, which is usually too threatening to too many male (and probably female) voters. (It was one of the major handicaps of Hillary Clinton. Likewise for Nancy Pelosi today.) But maybe it's more complicated than that in this case. Kirsten has the blond hair and blue eyes and the general features of a slightly aging movie star. The hard hairdo gives her a slightly more serious look, so maybe in her case this works. this understanding makes another candidacy a good bet. That is the candidacy of one who's tall and slender, good looking and energetic, with his impossible-to-define political positions he's got a youthful following, and most important of all, he's got a good smile and good hair. He's the living proof that reincarnation is true. He's *Beto "Barack" O'Rourke*! As for the coming announcement of *Joe Biden*, his hair makes him look too much like a retread tire that doesn't have much tread life left. Nope. Won't do. He might possibly make it through the qualifying race because he's the Michelin of the Democrats - the best know and trusted brand. but if the car running on these tires wins the Grand Prix, it's only because the tires of the competitor suffered a blow out. In general, I think we have to be aware of this: There are some general rules for correct physical appearance for a successful car salesperson. Each type of appearance must also be matched with a particular sales method. The same goes for a sales person of the ideas of the capitalist class.
