How much do you think a man's height, looks, attitude, voice, body language, etc factor into how people will vote for him?

Unfortunately, image probably is a factor in an election. What we should be looking at is a candidates voting record on the issues. That is the biggest indicator of the kind of person he/she is. They can say anything but their voting record may or may not contradict that.

Image certainly; charisma and body-language to an extent. It is this kind of thing which makes nonsense of the notion that electors make political choices based on a rational appraisal of the facts. It is just a bloody circus.

I think it factors in more than it should. If it wasn't a factor then Fred Thompson would be our next President.

It's about 75% unfortunately. That and name recognition. that is what got Clinton elected.
