I think Christie would never win a primary, between his size and his candid (often straight up angry) attitude.  The man comes off as having little self-control, and his dimeanor would in particular not go over well with women, methinks.

I also think Clinton might consider herself too old to run in 2016. Though if she does run, she's almost guaranteed the nom.

You'd think the weight would be an asset, actually. With me being unable to think of a way to say this politely: the large numbers of fat Americans would go for a fat guy, since he looks more "normal," just like how politicians don't like looking too intellectual

Nah.  The difference is, there are actual negatives to being too intellectual.  When your too intellectual you tend to miss the big picture and breeds arrogance which often leads to a failure to consider other ideas that may be better.

While there aren't There aren't really any negatives towards being too handsome.

 

Or if you want to look at it from the "President as your friend or husband" angle.   A decent number of people have a problem dating someone way smarter then them.   Nobody really has a problem dating someone way more goodlooking then them.
