What do you think if we couldn't SEE the CANDIDATES running for president until they won?

Question

What do you think would happen if they had an election where you could only read about the person running for president and not see what they look like. You had to go off completely what the person was proposing and not what s*x or race they were?

Answer 1

Anonymity always works well, except for blind dates.

Answer 2

Then I would have the EXACT SAME views as I do now.

I can say that with 100% honesty. Because I don't pay attention to tv ads, or go see them in person or anything. I read articles about what they have done (to and about their real life actions), read their transcripts from debates, etc.

Answer 3

Wow, that would be great and interesting. There would be no room for prejudice...including racism and and sexism...I think you may be onto something. Great question!

Answer 4

although I am pulling for Obama, I don't believe he would have the opportunities he has now if he was white.

Answer 5

Obama would still take it

Answer 6

I would still vote for McCain because Obama is so liberal.

Answer 7

Well, it would be great to eliminate those specific attributes from the equation. But if you could not see them they you would not be able to read their body language or facial expressions, which add a lot to a persons words. It would then be based on who had the best campaign slogan or who was an English major. Every thing they propose seems to be loaded, so I base a lot of how I feel about a candidate on what I see.

Answer 8

Great Question..
