Are Americans Choosing Style Over Substance When Voting for a Candidate?

NEW YORK, NY, August 4 2010 –Weatherproof® has launched a “Style vs. Substance” survey which will measure the influence a politician’s personal style and physical appearance has on the American public. Are Americans more concerned with the amount of hair he has or his amount of experience? The poll, which is now posted on The Huffington Post’s Style section (huffingtonpost.com/style) will also reveal which politician Americans find the most stylish. To participate in the poll, log onto www.huffingtonpost.com/style.

“We want to know if Americans are choosing style over substance when voting for a candidate,” said Freddie Stollmack, president of Weatherproof®. “I believe that political candidates are fast becoming our nation’s premiere celebrities, with their personal style scrutinized and critiqued like a movie star attending an Academy Awards ceremony,” he added. Weatherproof® has become a favorite among American politicians. President Barack Obama was recently photographed wearing a Weatherproof® coat while posing in front of the Great Wall in China.
