Study: Female GOP politicians look more feminine

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times      September 27, 2012, 01:25PM

If a new academic study is to be believed, Republican women politicians look more feminine than their Democratic counterparts.
 
The study, by two UCLA researchers, found that female politicians with what are described as stereotypically feminine features tended to be Republicans, and the reverse was also true for Democratic women. GOP women rated, on average, twice as stereotypically feminine as Democrats.
 
In fact, the authors said the correlation was so strong that undergraduates were regularly able to guess someone's party affiliation just by the way she looked.
 
"I suppose we could call it the 'Michele Bachmann effect,'" said Kerri Johnson, an assistant professor at UCLA and the study's senior author, said in a statement announcing the research — a reference to the well-known GOP congresswoman from Minnesota.
 
When it came to men, however, Democratic politicians were more masculine, the study found. But the researchers said that was not as revealing a finding.


I'm not too sure about that last paragraph--but they do get more of the ghey vote, so . . .

No commission or special study for this is needed. Libs are just plain butt-ugly.
