In Texas, Rick Perry is also known as Governor Good Hair.
In fact, when he jumped into the race just a few short weeks ago, fellow Texan Paul Begala described it as "when Rick Perry threw his hair in the ring."
Say what you want about the current Republican front-runner - love him or hate him - the guy's got great hair.
Maybe it will help Perry make it all the way to the White House.
In any case, it probably won't hurt him.
In recent memory, especially since when you could see these guys on TV, our commanders-in-chief have been blessed with the good hair gene.
In fact, you have to go all the way back to the 1950s and Dwight Eisenhower to find a bald-headed president.
Even if they go significantly more grey while in office, like Presidents Obama and George W. Bush, our presidents seem to have pretty healthy heads of hair.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that many of those aspiring to the office, like Perry, are blessed with good hair genes, too.
Look at Mitt Romney, or even John Edwards back in 2008.
Edwards reportedly went all out for his hair, spending as much as $400 for a haircut. Wait until he sees the haircut he could get in prison, but that's another story.
what do you guys think? is this a myth! or does it really matter?
