1. thanks, dudes

The hosts are a couple of thin dudes asking this question, and they pop up a caricature for us to laugh at the fat Sarah Palin. Kind of reeks a little of "no fat chicks" t-shirt wearing frat boys. Maybe that wasn't the intent, but it came across that way.

Chris Christie is fat and he's currently being begged to run for President by the GOP.

2. Chris Christie isn't a woman

3. Funny! I love the pic of a fat Sarah Palin. Great job photoshoping.

4. Palin is a Republicans

so I say yes. Look at Bachmann, Coutler, and others for proof.

If she were a Dem that was larger, it wouldn't matter so much. And Palin thrives on media attention, so her looks unfortunately come into this.

If she had ideas or talent (Oprah, Queen Latifa, Madeline Albright), not being thin wouldn't matter so much. We are generally sexist about weight.

5. She is fat.

6. Don't think she's fat, but she's godawful hideous - I just NEVER got the "she's hot" meme

So I don't see why she gets any attention for her appearance anyways. Obviously I'm missing something, but I'm perfectly happy to be missing it.

7. The repukes fantasize about her....

Remember that repuke blogger who was sitting on his couch mesmerized...saying Palin looked right at him during the VP debate?

8. NO

Absolutely not if fat or unattractive.

9. Of course she wouldn't

Let's be honest, 3/4 of Palin's appeal is to men and is based on her flaunting her sex. It's the whole reason behind the tight skirts, lots of leather, tight blouses, peep toe shoes, and the winks and smiles. She is totally directed towards men and makes them all think she has eyes just for them. It started at the Convention in 2008 and she's refined using sex to an art form. Look at her base- all men, mostly older/fat/blue collar, that most attractive women wouldn't look at twice, but they think Sarah loves them.

10. For that matter....

Virtually any fat-assed woman would get less attention than a normal one.
