…I’ll go ahead and tell you the second thought I had about the Madden hire: “Wow, between him and Romney, that’s a lot of handsome.” (That’s quoting Married Beltway Friend.)

Madden, a former DeLay guy (he’s got the crisis-management skills down), was named the second most beautiful person on Cap Hill by The Hill earlier this year.

(Re: DeLay, Hotline Blog dubbed him a “genius” back in the day.)

The Romney camp doesn’t seem to be going after the insecure male vote, that’s for sure.
