Hillary Clinton - Elizabeth Edwards Win Online Booty Call Poll

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In the spirit of democratic participation, casual dating website OnlineBootyCall.com created an online poll to let their members decide which Presidential candidate and spouse had the assets to be deemed "Booty Call Material." In the provocative poll, an interactive flash game titled BootyCall Decision 2008, Hillary Clinton defeated Obama with 55% of the vote, while 70% of voters ranked Elizabeth Edwards as the top presidential candidate spouse.

The Presidential candidates' attractiveness already garnered plenty of media attention. CNN questioned whether Mitt Romney is too good looking, the Washington Post balked at the slightest hint of Hillary's cleavage, and now, OnlineBootyCall.com enters the fray by asking which Presidential candidate (or spouse) is the most desirable date for an online booty call.

All jests aside, OnlineBootyCall.com's founder Moses (Mo) Brown feels that taking a unique approach to political ratings encourages a broader range of involvement in the political debate. "Despite people's reluctance to admit, the attractiveness of a Presidential candidate plays an influential role in their electability," noted Brown, also adding, "Over 300,000 booty call connections are made every week on OBC, our members know who is worthy of a booty call and who isn't."

In spite of his tongue-in cheek analysis, evidence corroborates Brown's hypothesis. Researchers from Texas Tech University and the University of Plymouth conducted a study of a local British election in 2001 and discovered that when voters are uninformed about political candidates, they tend to elect the most attractive candidate on the ballot.

Booty Call Decision 2008 provided a refreshing perspective on how favorably each Presidential candidate is perceived when politics are removed from the equation. Perhaps John Edwards should reconsider his decision to drop out of the race now that his wife has won the support of the onlinebootycall.com community. American voters will have to wait to see how Hillary's Online Booty Call victory will translate in the voting booth.
