Wow, so Michael Dukakis lost because of his height. Now it all makes sense. Thank you media!

The birth of this thread:

Person 1: Hey you know all of those non-story scandals you've been seeing?

Person 2: Yep

Person 1: Let me show you something even better.

Person 2: YIPEEEEE!

He can always use the Dukakis solution on the debate stage:

This is a really silly thread. No Rand fan, but the chart is a mockery of itself. At the top of the list stands candidates who've lost.

^There are also a lot of losers at the bottom of the scale.

Height doesn't matter. Unless your Mike Dukakis, then it just adds insult to injury. Tongue

Anyways, Paul isn't going to win, but it's not because of his height.

There's no solid answers but my cursory googling shows that answers.com has him at 5'8 and Democratic Underground has him at 5'9.

Your answer is... maybe?

Ron Paul is 5'8 too, right? It was funny to see him up against someone who is tall like Jon Huntsman. I suppose Pataki, if he get's into the debate, will dwarf him too.
