Steve Vaillancourt & Pretty Candidates: Oh, We Know What We Like In New Hampshire

The Dashing Mr. Vaillancourt: Is He Not Just So Pretty?

Steve Vaillancourt, a Republican member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives tells us that the Democrat, Annie McLane Kuster will not be re elected to the US House because she is "ugly as sin" and she is running against one of the most attractive women in the state. 

And everyone knows, Mr. Vaillancourt assures us, it's the prettiest candidate who wins in New Hampshire. (Presumably, this explains his own success.)

He goes on to elaborate about how the object of his derision looks like a "drag queen," and he knows all about drag queens because he visits drag queen bars, and many of the men who dress like women in those bars are prettier than this Democratic woman, who is ugly as sin, he says. Sounds like he spends significant time in bars.

She is Just Toast In New Hampshire

Wait, did he says he likes to hang out at drag queen bars? This Republican likes hanging out at drag queen bars? Where he sees pretty men? 

I think I got lost for a moment; there was just too much going on in the drag queen digression.

Mad Dog can only remind his many followers, around the world--we seem to have acquired a following in Ukraine, for reasons known only to Ukrainians--that Republicans are the party of "family values" which, apparently, includes those members of the family who like to dress up as women, when they are in fact men, and go hang out at drag queen bars. 

This is, presumably, what political parties are thinking about when they talk about "the big tent." 

In the Republican big tent everyone is welcomed, as long as they are pretty, or at least not ugly as sin.

Can you get elected in Ukraine, if you are ugly as sin?

Well, certainly not in New Hampshire, where the prettiest candidate wins. 

In fact, there is a youtube video about this: "Introducing Scott Brown: The Prettiest Candidate Yet."

Obviously Qualified: A Sure Winner

So there you have it: Once again, Mad Dog Productions has anticipated the most important trends in political thought in New Hampshire, namely, "Pretty Wins."
