Presidential Race: Who Looks Best In HDTV?
By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (December 14, 2011) -- You need a lot of strong qualities to get elected President of the United States. And there's little doubt that one of them is to look good on television.

Don't believe it? Just ask Richard Nixon who many historians say lost the 1960 race to John Kennedy because he didn't look fresh on camera during their debates. Or you could ask GOP presidential candidates John McCain and Bob Dole, both of whom lost to men who looked better on the tube. (Presidents Obama and Clinton respectively.)

And now with debates and public appearances usually broadcast in High-Definition, the stakes are even higher. To be a serious candidate, you better be able to withstand the candid cameras of high-def. Facial imperfections, aging signs and/or a lack of sleep will be all-too-obvious to the viewer in HDTV.

You can run in the high-def world, but you can't hide.

So, we thought we would have some fun today and ask you to pick the current presidential candidate who you think looks best in High-Definition TV. Your choices are below -- so cast your ballot now!
