Romney’s sexiness gap

There are sugar daddies, and then there are sugar daddies. Sheldon Adelson, the Las Vegas billionaire who donated $20 million to Newt Gingrich’s failed campaign and now has promised to give “limitless” funding to Mitt Romney, is one kind of sugar daddy. So are the other old, white billionaires spending tens of millions to defeat Barack Obama.

Then there’s the other, traditional kind of sugar daddy, the kind certain women have their eyes on. But what about the presidential candidates? Which one do women think is the better sugar daddy, Romney or Barack Obama?

Mitt, we have bad news for you. According to a poll of more than 30,000 of its members, SeekingArrangement.com, the world’s largest sugar-daddy dating website, has determined that 34.1 percent said they preferred having Obama as their sugar daddy, while only 11.9 percent preferred Romney, despite his being worth 20 times more than Obama.

SeekingArrangement.com’s founder and CEO, Brandon Wade, elaborated on the results. “According to our survey,” he said in a press release, “most women say they chose Obama because he is more trustworthy, charismatic and sexy. Obama is funny and is known to be a good dancer. Unfortunately, Romney is still viewed by many as the ‘vanilla’ candidate.”

Poor guy. He already has problems with women voters, who aren’t happy that he wants to defund Planned Parenthood and overturn Roe vs. Wade. Now we learn that they don’t find him sexy. Can he win if women think he’s dull? Or will he be able to overcome the sexiness gap? Stay tuned.
