Wonkette links to a story in the Washington Post about the wackiest damn experiment a group of Stanford political scientists has ever conducted:

We started with two relatively unknown faces (in fact, they were Rep. Mary Bono, R-Calif. and Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii) and made them more familiar by combining them with better-known faces so that the ratio of the unfamiliar to the familiar face was either 80:20 or 60:40. Previous research has demonstrated that the 40 percent level of morphing is sufficiently subtle to preclude study participants' recognizing the identity of the familiar face in the morph. Participants were told that the morph was a photo of a candidate for the Senate named 'Paul Vaughn' (or 'Paula Vaughn' if the morph was a female). They also were given a few details about Vaughn and asked questions designed to measure their impressions of the fictitious candidate.

The results? A little bit o' Hillary makes everyone like you more. No wonder Chelsea's so popular.

It should be noted that the addition of an 80-proof shot of HRC does seem to make members of the House more attractive. The 60:40 Mary Bono looks a bit like Courtney Cox, and the addition of a pair of glasses would make the 60:40 Ed Case a dead ringer for Stephen Colbert.

Which leads one inexorably to conclude that this whole time, she's the one who should have been sleeping around. (Rimshot!)
