Chris Christie: Will Americans Vote For Someone Like Them?

So Governor Christie makes a great case, and if he changes his mind about running for President and does, I think he would be a strong candidate. The question is: can we look past his exterior (if you haven’t seen him, Governor Christie is a large man) and vote for someone based on his words and not what he looks like? I mean can we really vote for someone who truly looks like a regular American (at least count we have a 60% obesity rate), like someone who you could see sitting in the next booth at Hometown Buffet?

Do we really need our elected officials to look like celebrities? Do we really need them to look good or sound good (Some people take exception with Sarah Palin’s voice). Have we as a people gone beyond the superficial, and can truly elect the best person for the job, no mater what they look like?
