Weird Bio-Political Science

Steven Hayward of Power Line shares a research finding from the journal Politics and the Life Sciences. Quoting from the abstract of “Effects of Physical Attractiveness on Political Beliefs“:

Controlling for socioeconomic status, we find that more attractive individuals are more likely to report higher levels of political efficacy, identify as conservative, and identify as Republican.
As I’ve reminded you for years, the GOP is historically a party for those for whom this society “works,” produces a good life. The other guys get the rest, those for whom - for whatever reason(s) - it does not “work.”

Afterthought: Regular COTTonLINE readers must be a good looking group.
