Because smart, strong feminist women are hot... yes, I totally get that

What I was going to say is, too bad the picture doesn't feature her signature footwear...

We tend to respond and notice when people are attractive. And when they're particularly unattractive.

Personally, I see a photo of Rep Brian Sims from my state and my own jaw drops. That man is drop-dead gorgeous.

Now if you were solely basing your vote on the candidates' looks, that could be an issue, but you aren't implying that this is the case.

We've seen her in comfortable sneakers during the filibuster and now, these stilettos give her nice, shapely legs and cause some males' hearts to flutter.

Hey if dumb Palin can... Sorry.

it's more like the form-fitting shiny dress and the dolled up hair.

Not sure the shoes make that much difference, although a woman friend once told me that high heels force a woman's body into a "fuck me" pose. Something a male perhaps notices whether he wants to or not, whether he knows it or not.

was wearing her Louboutins then. lol. I think she needs an endorsement gig from a good shoe company. The running shoes she wore during the filibuster were sold out shortly after the filibuster.

Even if she is, I don't see how it's in that position as she's not holding it as her hands are both in front of her. Eh, just something that bothered me.
