I just realized who Santorum reminds me of, with that pursed, pinched look he gets. Church Lady. With apologies to Dana Carvey. ---

He’s ok looking, but hardly ‘damn handsome’. ---

Well at least [Santorum](http://cdn.blisstree.com/files/2012/01/GETTY_P_060611_RickSantorumSpeaking.jpg) isn’t as creepy looking as his retarded brother [Scott](http://cdn2.dailycaller.com/2011/05/scottwalker.jpg). That said, Santorum is still pretty creepy looking. And the sweater vests aren’t helping. ---

I’m no lady, but I’m attracted to men. But not that man. I don’t think Santorum has one iota of sex appeal. I’ve seen sexier mannequins. The really freaky thing is seeing his look-alike kids standing behind them. They’re like clones. ---

If I forget that he forced his kids to hold a baby corpse or forget his google problem and the fact he’s both socially conservative and fiscally liberal (the worst of both worlds) then yeah, I think he’s pretty good looking actually. I want whatever anti-aging stuff he’s having; he looks far younger than he really is. Then again, I’m the girl who thinks Medvedev is sexy too. ---

Not my style, I tend to like square faces better. He might be better looking with less polish, too; he looks too much like a [Madelman](http://www.google.be/search?q=madelman&hl=es&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&biw=1366&bih=667&sei=eYc6T7S-BsuWOuvZqJ8C), not enough like a guy. The rest of the information is worse. Lawyers and me generally belong in parallel universes; politicians are good for my BP (it’s too low, they raise it)… > [@kambuckta](#): > > On the other hand, there is a (recently retired) polly here in Australia from the opposite end of the political spectrum from my good self, John Anderson, and I’d do him as quick as you could say Welcome to the National Party. > > He was one good looker, whoah. Those eyes of his got me every time. Shame about his politics but. 😃 Nooot bad at all, I must say. There’s a pic of him in a hat that’s growly hot. ---

I’m a dude, but I don’t think he’s particularly “sexy.” He’s not horrible looking. I think his chin is a little weak (though not as weak as Ken Mehlman’s), and he totally has this Greg Marmalard-preppy Young Republican look to him. He looks like he was a tattler in elementary school. “Teacher, Billy said a bad word!” FTR Mitt Romney is a good looking guy. He has that Reed Richards graying hair thing going on. ---

I don’t find him attractive at all. His shape is OK, but his face always looks like he’s just sucked a lemon. There is something I dislike and distrust about his facial features- his eyes are too close together and too deeply set. He has thin, tight lips (Trumpish, almost, and he has the worlds most unattractive mouth ever!). Really, he just reminds me of every uptight, conflicted, overly-self-righteous right winger I’ve ever met. Shudder. ---

Good lord no. The man’s face is made of canned biscuit dough. He needs a cheekbone transplant too. And some lips. ---

I’m a fella but if you ask me, and I know you didn’t, [he](http://phillyist.com/attachments/philly_nicole/santorummanondog.jpg) looks like [Guy Smiley](http://images.wikia.com/muppet/images/2/28/Guy-smiley.jpg) to me (Google says that Mitt Romney is also a candidate for a Smiley-a-like, but I think he’s a bit too old).

> [@lindsaybluth](#): > > If I forget that he forced his kids to hold a baby corpse Would people stop harping on this? His youngest son was stillborn. They brought the infant home and grieved together as a family. No one was “forced to hold a corpse”. Read up on the history of funerals and mourning. At one time, this sort of thing was quite common. People used to hold funerals in their own homes. I doubt the kids were “forced” to do anything. That’s probably the only time they got to spend with the child. To them, it wasn’t just a corpse, but their son and their brother. I loathe Santorum as much as the next person, but attacking him and his family over how they dealt with the loss of his son is just low. (Daughter of a funeral director speaking. Everyone deals with death in their own way. I don’t believe it’s something you should hide from children, nor I do believe in the whole, “eeeew, a dead body!” bullshit.) \*steps down from soap box ---

If neutral-colored sweater vests are sexy, than so is supporting all rights against women. His vests appear to be cashmere too, so, I suppose his obedient wife astutely matches the shade to the pinstripes. 😃 ---
