do you think Abraham Lincoln would be able to win an election nowadays?

not even really talking about political ability or viewpoints.

so I'm watching this documentary on breast cancer. and this chick talking is saying some righteous things, but she's got a noticeable mustache straight up. and all I'm thinking is, why didn't she shave that shit? it's not like she didn't know she was gonna be filming for a movie where her head would be the only thing on screen for her speaking portions. so I'm not even listening to her anymore because she's got a stache.

which got me thinking how being telegenic affects our perception of public figures. Lincoln was a top 5 president easy and overall beast of history, but he wasn't an attractive man. I wonder if even Honest Abe would be able to overcome that in this digital age.
