The Endorsement: Mitt Romney’s Hair
Romney’s haircut makes him look like a lot of things: a caberet singer, an enthusiastic Elvis impersonator, a Mormon. But there’s one thing it does not make him look like: a politician. Unlike Harry Reid, John Edwards, and anyone on Meet the Press, he doesn’t have a low side part. His hair isn’t swept across whatever expanse his forehead has turned into. Instead, it’s slicked back. There’s some gel in there, along with a just a little style. He’s trying. And in an industry as dedicated to conformity as it is to pandering, that makes for an icon. His haircut, at least.
