Earlier, we made the astonishing discovery that personal politics and overall attractiveness are not always inextricably linked. As a result, many of us are willing to throw caution to the wind, tacitly avoid the Roe v. Wade debate or even look the other way on trivial issues like nuclear armament and mass genocide all in the name of sheer physical attraction. So we thought, why start looking at other foreign leaders when we've got some bona fide eye candy right here in the United States of America? And that's when we decided it was time to take a look at the real running mates: the prospective first ladies.

In that spirit, we humbly present to you the women most likely to relocate to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. come inauguration time. So, ignoring for a moment which one is married to pint-sized marionette Dennis Kucinich (Elizabeth!) which one has a tongue ring (Elizabeth, again!) which one loves her dog almost as much as her Louis Vuitton bag (Judith Stish Ross Nathan Giuliani!) please judge them all on a completely superficial looks-only basis.

The poll to follow, but be forewarned that we've eliminated Elizabeth Edwards and William Jefferson Clinton from contention because cancer jokes aren't very funny and we didn't trust ourselves to write about Bill without resorting to a "close, but no cigar" quip.
