Fortunately, here in Massachusetts, we've got a fit and dreamy guv: Deval Patrick! He's pretty on the inside and on the outside.
Hmm--I always considered him more doofy than dreamy .. but he is quite trim and knows how to smile with his eyes.
Tyra Banks, also, knows how to smile with eyes.
Obviously took lessons with Tyra.
Check out the gun show on Maryland's O'Malley!
And is he wearing red nail polish on his left hand?
O'Malley is a stone cold dreamboat! My new political boyfriend! Hasta la vista, Gavin Newsom!
Hey, what's with the "Boyfriend Nate Silver" meme? Rudimentary research shows independent use of:
Internet Boyfriend, Nate Silver
Geeky Boyfriend Nate Silver
Statistics boyfriend nate silver
statistical boyfriend, Nate Silver
stats boyfriend Nate Silver
dorky boyfriend, Nate Silver
favorite pretend boyfriend, Nate Silver
America's nerd boyfriend Nate Silver
WTF?
Also: Christ, Jim Doyle has ballooned since I was working against him in 2002.
It's a Wonkette thing. The libtards love stats.
I love the commenters chez Nate jumping in to say "I think your methodology here is dubious." (Um, really, "delicate, lovestruck flower" isn't a clinical diagnosis?)
It reminds me of the time 100 years ago I was watching a Bulls/Jazz finals game and after saying something along the lines of "You suck, Malone!" someone explained to me that, no, in fact, Malone was actually a really good basketball player. Ooooh. Well, then.
In Sanford's case, 'delicate lovestruck flower' could well be a clinical diagnosis.
As for the methodology thing, see Krugmanic's comment just above.
Have you noticed Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas Governor, really putting on the pounds lately? He's positively porcine! Not that he was ever trim, but he was somewhat shapely during 2008's GOP campaign. Now all that Fox F#U* money is going straight to his gibblets.
What really freaks me out are his enormous sons, especially since learning they got in trouble at Boy Scout camp for, like, torturing dogs and setting them on fire. I'm sure they keep girls in a pit in their basement.
YES!
