CNN’s Jack Cafferty – Can a fat man be elected president?

Forget all the talk about the United States electing an African-American or a woman as president… what about a fat man?

This idea comes to us courtesy of a Daily Beast column by Lloyd Grove, who talks about the “proliferation of tough, smart, and decidedly chubby Republican contenders.” People like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, along with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
