Let Us Now Objectify Presidential Men

published 21 June 11

Say what you will about the current crop of Republican Presidential contenders (and frankly, there's plenty of stuff I'd say if this were a political blog, rather than a dating blog), but one thing we all have to concede is that there a lot of hotties in the running — and as Slate's John Dickerson points out, the three hottest might be Jon Huntsman, Obama's former ambassador to China; Rick Perry, current governor of Texas; and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts. (To be more accurate, Dickerson says these three are the ones who most resemble the actors who play presidents in B-list movies.)

My hands-down favorite is Huntsman — those freckles, that little nose, the boyish face crowned by the salt-and-pepper hair! I would (almost) vote for him simply in the hopes we might see a bathing suit shot one day.

Now, who do you think is the cutest man for the job?
