When voting for a presidential candidate, keep in mind how often you will have to look at his or her face. This is especially important because presidents age quickly under the stress of the job. If you elect a president who is old and unattractive right out of the gate, things are going to get tragic fast.
To illustrate my point, I used software to digitally age one candidate, so you can see how he will look after a few weeks in the oval office.

You can do this at home. I invite you to pick any presidential candidate and post links to his/her picture and then to any picture that reminds you of the candidate.
To get you started, here are some links to pictures of the candidates from each party. You just have to find one you can match.
