Two university researchers say the penalty for plainness is 5% to 10% lower pay in all occupations, or slightly larger than the premium for good looks.

As if the vertically-challenged don't have to deal with enough (what with hemming pant legs, straining to peer over people at concerts, and struggling to reach the top shelf at grocery stores), it turns out taller people are better compensated than their shorter colleagues. To add insult to injury, height has not only been linked to larger paychecks and greater self-confidence, but also to higher intelligence.*

Joni Hersch, a law and economics professor at Vanderbilt University, looked at a government survey of 2,084 legal immigrants to the United States from around the world and found that those with the lightest skin earned an average of 8 percent to 15 percent more than similar immigrants with much darker skin.

So, who best fits those criteria? Or better yet, who LEAST fits the criteria? And I also must add that, sadly, women do not fit the stereotype of "successful/President" and therefore my bet is Americans do not give "That Girl" the job, no matter how cute, tall or blondish she is.

Am I underestimating the intelligence of Americans? How many Republican girls are squirmy over Bush cuz he is so buff and cute? (eccch, personally) And don't get me started about Slick Willy.

What do you think? will we choose gravity and substance (Gore, Kerry) or a someone "electable" as a Baldwin? And how tall is John Edwards?

Maybe a points system is in order.
