Re: Too thin to win
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.

Re: Too thin to win
Journalists and columnists are always looking for an angle!
It's exactly the same in British politics.Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: Too thin to win
I guess so.
Let's see if all those State Dinners make a difference. I suspect they won't.Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'
