in the presidential primaries lack curb appeal.  You can tell just looking at them from the street below that most of the candidates aren't terribly appealing.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain have both been viewed as the likely contenders over the last couple of years, however as the American people that closer to the house they were considering buying it just wasn't that something special about them.

So we've been taking our realtor around and looking for better candidates and are not coming up with a great set of choices.  We've got a recycled John Edwards, who looks and sounds attractive until you get more than 10 minutes into his big picture views.

We've got Barack Obama the talks are very good game and seems to be the best fundraiser out there, but he has no experience.  We've got met Romney would definitely appeal to the Christian right, if he were a member of the elite club.  Then there's Rudy Giuliani (and John McCain for that matter) both running in a family values party, and the two of them have a combined total of five marriages under their belt.

I think what is going to happen is very similar to what happens with houses that have been on the market too long.  Their going to get a quick make over, possibly some new landscaping, brighter light bulbs a new shiny brass house marker, and then they are going to be repositioned as the new and improved candidate.

It will probably end up being John McCain and Hillary Clinton that will benefit the most from this curb appeal move, and Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will be the losers.  The American public will become disenchanted by the bait and switharoo all over again, and come 2008 it will be one very nasty election, but at least the candidates will look superficially appealling . . .
