What if he lost the sweater vest? Would that turn the tide, so to speak? 🙂 ---

Good lord, a five year old zombie thread. And yet, _Santorum still looks exactly the same!_ Clearly, he is the living dead! It totally explains his combination of regular features and unattractiveness … no living being at home in that body! ---

As far as politicians go he’s fairly attractive, but I wouldn’t give him a second look if he was a nobody on the street like me. ---

About as sexy and good-looking as the unfortunate Dan Quayle who was foisted upon us years ago to get the wimmens vote. Ha! No, he has that creepy plastic-man, 5 years out of date Repub look (knowing who he is and what he stands for). Otherwise I wouldn’t even notice him if he knocked on my door and dropped his pants. Compared to the others, I suppose he’s pin-up material. But certainly not to me! ---

He’s not bad looking, but I need a bit more than that. ---

Santorum has a pinched-looking face. [This](http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/santorum.jpg) is how I always picture him, looking a bit rodenty and repressed. ---

Physically, he’s moderately attractive, and no more than moderately attractive. However, his stance on various issues make him more repulsive than, say, a diseased ferret. ---

> [@T.J](#): > > OK - I’ve seen a few posts throughout the internet from people who think he is sexy. Even though he comes across as plain, there’s something about him that’s a turnon.

People (ladies) can be misled about Santorum’s looks if all they ever see is photos of his face or footage of him showing only his uppermost body. The man is a pear. He has a very strangely-shaped mid-and lower body. ---

He could look like Brad friggin’ Pitt for all I care. Nobody that vile and cruel could possible be considered attractive by this here chick. Bleah. Be aware that in addition to thinking that Santorum is not sexy, I am also of the opinion that santorum is not sexy either… ---

I like how Rick Santorum’s face is slightly off-kilter, as though someone punched him in the face so hard that his features spun around the back of his skull and returned _almost_ to their original position, but not quite. Or that’s what I like to imagine happened, anyway. ---

I’m thinking more “weasel”. That and considering his views on sex, he probably only lasts about five seconds. And it’s lights out, missionary only.
