| Description |
Is being overweight a political handicap? That's the big question posed by Daniel Engber in a very interesting piece this week at Slate.com. At issue, the contentious Corzine-Christie race in New Jersey and a weighty issue that has developed between the two men. Namely, the issue of weight.
You see, Corzine (D), the incumbent governor, is an average-to-fit 62. He considers himself a "health nut". He runs marathons. For a man who was very nearly killed in a car accident two years ago, he is in excellent health.
His opponent, Chris Christie (R), is an obese 47-year old. He considers himself "a Jersey guy, with a Jersey gut". He jokes about his weight. He says that he has been heavy since his teenage years, and has tried to lose the weight several times, to no avail. |
