  • Too thin to win

    An article in the London Sunday Times - Obama is too thin to win because the average American identifies better with someone more weighty. The article is sourced in New York, so presumably is circulating in the US Press.

    The latest breaking UK, US, world, business and sport news from The Times and The Sunday Times. Go beyond today's headlines with in-depth analysis and comment.
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

      It's like that thing about the tallest candidate has always won the Presidential election. I heard on the radio that that is a myth and that it has occured only 65% of the time.

        Journalists and columnists are always looking for an angle!

        It's exactly the same in British politics.

              I guess so.

              Let's see if all those State Dinners make a difference. I suspect they won't.
