Why we will likely never again elect a bald president - sorry rudy

In the history of the United States there have been 43 occupants of the oval office. They have been of various shapes and sizes. Some presidents have been very thin like Jefferson, Lincoln and carter. Others a bit larger like Taft and cleveland and Maybe Lyndon Johnson to a degree. Some have been very tall like Washington and some a little shorter like Truman. One thing most of them have had in common is that to some degree or another they had some hair.
The last bald president that the U.S. elected was Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. I'm not counting Gerald Ford because he was never elected. Before Ike can you remember a bald president? By bald i mean BALD. I am not talking about presidents who had less than a full head of hair. For most of them this was the case. Im talking about bald like a cue ball bald. Not thinning hair or nearly bald for that seems to be o.k. to the public but totally not one hair left bald. The last one before ike that i can remember off the top of my head is John Quincy Adams. The 6th president of the united states for those of you who cant remember that far back. Now why is this? It may very well be that among all the other qualities that the voting public insists on of their president that more and more so he also has to be pretty to some significant degree. I mean after all look at what it did for John Kennedy. If there is anyone out there who believes that Kennedy's handsome and well kept physical appearance was not the difference in his election win in 1960 over Richard Nixon well than you were not paying close attention. They did a rather famous poll during that campaign where they polled people who watched the debate on television. Most of them thought that Kennedy won the debate. Then they polled people who only heard the debate on radio. Most of these people thought Nixon won it. Kennedy's appearance was in fact so compelling to the public that it actually helped him overcome the reservations that most voters had about his religion. If he had been bald he would never have been president. If you insist on counting Gerald Ford than the last five presidents in a row have all had their hair. If you dont count Ford it goes back even farther than that. If you think im exaggerating the importance of this issue well than maybe you should ask democratic presidential nominee John Edwards what he thinks about it after he has his next $400 haircut. I would expect this trend of well groomed presidents to continue. History would indicate its a pretty safe bet.
