What is it with all the left handed presidential
candidates? When Ross Perot was running, all 3 candidates were left handed. I just noticed when they showed McCain signing autographs that he's left handed and so is Obama. I'm left handed and know we're a small percentage of the population, so the odds of so many presidential candidates being left handed should be relatively low.

1. Newsweek had an article about that a few months back
It was incredible the # of left-handers, esp. in recent history - I think Bush1 and Clinton are lefties too?

5. That's my point...statistically speaking,
there are too many lefties in the presidential candidate category.

4. I have a theory...
All western-world lefties have shown a stubbornness in early life because someone usually tried to get them to use the other hand (not just parents, but everyone including scissor manufacturers), but they're still lefties.

(The real reason is probably a subtle brain architecture thing, but I like my corn-porne take)

11. Well, if you're left handed you should know.
It has to do with SATAN.
