Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama complimented John Edwards by saying “he’s kind of good-looking.” Here is the link: Link
I was talking to a friend about that comment and she said if Obama and Edwards were running on the same ticket, they would be the best looking president and v.p. ever.

i’d say barack obama if i had to choose. =P
ummm… I’m a guy. Neither.
*that is, probably one or the other, but I couldn’t care less.
I’d say Mr Edwards but I like the lower half of Mr Obama’s face. They’re both okay for politicians.
Cheers,
m
No thanks… if that was the contest than we’d have to find a girl to run…
Barack Obama…
.. in reply to Imworkingsoshutthehellup who cares if you’re a guy… you still know what’s attractive! haha
Obama. mixes are always better looking.
Al Gore
neither…
Edwards by a long shot
But Barack Obama actually looks like a man
i am highly disturbed, dan. O.o
John Kerry
Just kidding
Obama.
Edwards looks like an actor…but I can’t remember the actor’s first name…last name is Cunningham.
Why does it matter?
By looks alone – Edwards. Not a fan of his, though.
I’m rooting for Barry.
Obama
oh but both are nice! especially for politicians! though if i were to choose probably obama (who is speaking here tomorrow night, woo!) since i think edwards is shorter then me by a long shot and that always just kinda bugs me…
Odd question. Neither of them are my type, so I won’t judge.
I’m a guy so I don’t know.
Obama. Edwards is too white for me.
John Edwards. Duh.
obama!!!
barack..but both of those pics are pretty unflattering…
Obama
I wouldn’t say that EITHER is hot… but John Edwards has those adorable crinkly things by his eyes when he smiles. Very much reminiscent of Dennis Quaid in that picture.
John Edwards sickens me….Blah!!
Candy
Obama is pretty cute…
What do you think, Dan?
Actually, i think they’re both pretty rugged.
Dan, you’re hotter.
Uh, weird question, but Obama.
I’m a heterosexual male, and most of us honestly can’t tell which man is more attractive unless it’s blatantly obvious. I do think there’s something about Edwards that comes across as…really fake, so Obama.
Ann Coulter’s Mistake
Obama ! =P
of those pics, obama for the win.
Honestly, neither is really that attractive to me, but Edwards is hotter.
Judging by those pictures alone, I’d have to say Edwards. He’s outside and is probably hotter than Obama in the air conditioning.
Obama
Obama…but neither do I like. At all…
They look haggard and wrinkled.
I’m getting there myself…
Obama should’ve played Xerxes in 300.
What’s wrong with you people? Edwards is much hotter. Easier to look at. I cringe anytime I see Barack
obama, but then again they’re politians. the standards for hot politians is pretty low.
obama
Haha yeah, unflattering pictures? But Obama is probably hotter. Edwards just looks old.
That’s a hard question. They are both very handsome! I’d date them both (if they were younger single that is)! John Edwards is closer to my personal taste, but Obama is very good looking too.

Are you sure it’s not the opposite? I don’t see leaves on the trees, which meands Edwards must be pretty chillyyyy out there.
I like them both..looks arent that important to me.. I just want to see a good president in office that cares about our country.
Who’s hotter, Stalin or Hitler?…We should all read some Bradbury and reevalualte western civilization, because if we’ve having a conversation about ‘who’s hotter’ when choosing the person that will either plunge us into WWIII or reunify the US’s disgusted allies….Then we’re doing what both the enemy and the government wants us to do: Forget about domestic and foreign policy, forget about platforms and war ‘strategery’, and vote for the person who looks best in Calvin Klein jeans.
Oh wow, um…I’m going to have to go with neither.
One can only hope our elections are not decided on that merit alone
Those are pretty bad photos. I’m going to go with Obama, though.
Obama is ok looking, but it’s not a great pic you have of him. I still say Edwards tho.
Edwards.
Hopefully we will vote more on ability, rather than looks.
As John McCain once said, Washington is a Hollywood for ugly people.
neither lol
personally i think edwards is better looking, but i like obama better.
I like Obama. He has a regal look about him.
John Edwards
I think it would go against all my morals to say if a president is hot
not to mention its also bizarre
John…and that’s not a good picture of him.
Obama, definitely.
eww…I do not like the way Obama looks at all…
Hard to say.
I’d need to see another picture of both of those. . .personally I’m not satisfied with either photo. I feel like they both have rather funny/peculiar expressions on their face. . .and the second pic isn’t even a front shot/more “to the side”.
But I tend to think black guys are hotter then white guys
(yet I think white girls are hotter then black girls, go figure) Someone explain that to me please?
Maybe the first though. Shrug.
Hillary.
ha.
Neither….but if i had to pick i would say barack
Barack.
ew
john edwards !
Obama!
i want these results posted. perhaps you could have those poll things for some of your questions? last time he ran i thought edwards was too good looking to be taken seriously. i still agree. hes very gorgeous.
the lesser of two uglies……Obama
Obama! Definitely Obama…
Afterall, was it not you who pointed out that he kinda looks like Will Smith?
they’re both crooks.
edwards smile says it.
obama’s eyebrows say it.
Crooked bastards, all of Washington.
A pile of crap
Edwards looks so creepy in that pic
Neither are attractive if you ask me.
Um. they’re both ok i guess. but ew.
John Edwards! Hes very good looking!
Obama has a haunted look about him, and John Edwards looks a bit like Dennis Quaid (in that picture anyway). I think Edwards has a more appealing look, but I’m not sure I really know what I’m talking about.
Ooh…..tough. Edwards has that Ryan Seacrest thing going, and Obama reminds me of Denzel Washington. I like Obama better because he actually looks like a guy.
You know who I think is hottest?
Kerry. *_*
Blek…neither! They both bug me!
they’re both fugly
John Edwards. Both are very attractive though.
it doesnt matter, both are middle aged males… i dont think one looks “better” than the other
“barack..but both of those pics are pretty unflattering…

Yeah, but as a guy, I’m secure enough to say that for politicians, they don’t look half-bad. Although, to be fair, that means absolutely nothing.
John Edwards
Barack Obama.
Barack, simply cause I like dark meat. His face isn’t that great, but that’s why God created paper bags.
posts like this are why Xanga is BANNED in mainland CHINA.
Obama lacks foreign policy experience.
Neither.
Barack. That picture there isn’t very flattering but he’s handsome.
barak
Oh baby, OBAMA!
I have a thing for darker men
John Edwards
I don’t really check out guys that old…. :-/
neither?
Barack Obama. I agree with Obama’s comment about Edwards. He’s not straight up handsome, but he’s “kind of good-looking.”
And I think it’s funny how everyone keeps saying they’re both good-looking “for polititians.” Politians are just stereoytped to be old. A good looking president? Cuh-razy talk!
Barack.
hmm never realized this before but john edwards has ugly teeth
obama. he’s even got a sexy sounding voice.
Barack baby
i’d say obama
Neither? Those pictures are definitely unflattering.
Edwards has a nice smile, but I think Obama has his good points, too.
Ug… I still say neither. They are much older than me and I don’t find EITHER of them attractive and don’t like thinking about it.
Hmm. They’re both pretty good looking, but I would have to say John Edwards.
Definitely Obama.
You guys who are saying you don’t find either attractive because you are men have serious problems with your sexuality. There is nothing wrong with a guy finding another guy to be attractive, it is a little disturbing if you desire to touch their penis, but not to find them attractive. I would have to say Edwards is more attractive. I am not gay, I have a sexy girlfriend, and I have no problem saying that he is an attractive man.
As John Edwards looks like Dennis Quaid in that picture….
Barack.
they’re both pretty ugly XD
‘I like the lower half of obama’s face”
HAHAHAHA
I am going to have to go with Obama by default.
But seriously, Al Gore.
ME. I’m much hotter. Vote for me!
*just write me in the ballot*
There needs to be an option for Ann Coulter…
JK…
I’m not going to grace this post with an answer.
Oops.
Obama!!
Obama I guess.
Neither of them are really hot in my opinion. They couldn’t get by with just their looks. They’d have to win me over on personality and brain.
yes
Barack Obama. Indeed.
OBAMA!
Obama!!!!!!
(too bad that rhymes with Osama….)
how about both. i guess.
Hmm, they both have strong points.
If I had to choose, I’d say Obama. Just because John Edwards seems like kind of an airhead to me.
NIETHER!
john edwards…
Hotter? Obama. Voting for him? No.
Obama is by far the most attractive politician there is. John Edwards is an old fart and is boring because he’s white. All presidents have been white.
neither….. YUCK!!!
Barack.
algh! neither!
you picked the ugliest photos of both of them i have ever seen… but i’d definantly say barak is hotter.
Lol, Rush Limbaugh calls John Edwards”the Breck girl” because he’s either married to the heiress of the company or a former shampoo model.
edwards is not good looking at all. totally random that other people think he is.
um… well, neither is particularly good looking for a man and both are ok for politicians, but i’d pick hilary
I noticed you used a picture of Obama that doesn’t have his ears in it. Is that a coincidence?
If U force me to pick- I’d have to say Edwards…. Neither of them are all that great, but both are better than Al Gore…
edwards.
davey havok.
john edwards has a strange resemblence to dennis quaid… maybe they’re distant relatives or something. who knows.
I’d bet a lot of the guys who are saying they can’t tell if a man is attractive could certainly tell if he’s ugly. Kind of hypocritical, I think, but that may be the culture talking more than anything else. I’m a hetero myself, and I can usually tell if a guy is attractive. I mean, I can tell if a car is attractive, too, so I don’t think that alone implies a sexual desire. But whatever.
Myself, I think that you picked bad pictures of both guys
. Obama has a very calming nature about him, though, which has to count for something with the ladies. Though Edwards looks much younger than he actually is, which is impressive for a politician. I dunno about between these two, they’re both up on most of the recent guys.
John Edwards, hands down.
barack..but both of those pics are pretty unflattering…
Posted 3/15/2007 1:50 PM by gingerbo16
I have to agree. But Barack Obama ^-^ I don’t like Edwards’ nose. Don’t ask why.
no thanks.
Obama,definitely.
John Kerry looks like denis quade.
