3. Admits to occasionally getting tired (Obama)
We have to make sure that our candidates never let on that campaigns can be grueling--in fact, we should go out of our way to make sure the person we nominate needs no sleep whatsoever.

23. Too chubby--Richardson. (Could say the same think about Gore.)
Americans may be the fattest people on the face of the planet but we like our presidents to at least appear to be in reasonably fit condition.

26. Hey, you just threw out Thomas Jefferson
Although that powdered wig covered up his flaming red hair.

Abe Lincoln would never be elected today. No way to pretty THAT face up and that nasal voice would not go over on electronic media.

Washington be OK. Big good looking military guy who looked great on a horse.

25. Being gay, of course. Can you imagine the president having a first man?
