Back in the day, all Republicans and Democrats looked alike.
Then along came a young Democrat from Massachusetts who had perfect hair and perfect teeth,
By a sad stroke of fate, he was prematurely succeeded by a fellow who had very little hair and forgettable teeth.
The Republicans figured that if hair and teeth would win the presidency, then maybe glasses would have a shot.
They were wrong. But eventually a different Republican did win--another fellow with no hair, but he'd run a campaign against another fellow who'd been pulling out his own hair for a long time.
Another unfortunate circumstance caused the one balding fellow to be replaced by another.
But a Georgia peanut farmer came along to bring us back to what was important again--hair and teeth. Especially teeth.
Unfortunately, he pretty much sucked as a president and the Republicans could have run just about anyone against him in the following election. They chose to run a former B actor with hair. His hair was of questionable color, but it was surely all there.
The Dems came back with somebody who actually did have hair, but made the mistake of covering it up in a tank helmet. It was enough to cost him the election. At least it didn't help any.
This allowed a notably unhairy man to win the presidency.
In fairness, he did choose a Vice Presidential candidate with hair.
Sadly, he couldn't even spell "potato."
Eventually, the Dems brought hair back where it belonged. Hair even became news when the Dem's guy sat on the tarmac getting his $200 haircut while other air traffic sat waiting patiently for him to get finished.

The next Dem to run for president had what I'd call adequate, but unremarkable hair. He did recognize the importance of hair though, growing a beard, albeit too late after he lost the election.
But the Democrats had finally learned their lesson. Hair ran for the presidency in the next election.
But it was probably too much hair because he didn't win. A different fellow won.
And he had sort of meh hair. His Vice President though, had typical Republican hair.
The sad thing is, the GOP apparently hasn't learned.
Whereas the Democrats are all over the issue.
And others, who suffer from male pattern baldness, have chosen instead to call themselves "Harry."
Wait. How did he get in here?
Anyhow, now we have today's top Dems. The President has backed off the hair (probably hearkening back to Kerry's earlier failure, but he's brought to bear a whole new level of teeth. A whole new level, that is, until you take a look at his Vice President.
If you're as old as I am, you're old enough to remember Smokin' Joe before he had all that hair. What hair he had was darker then, but plugs are harder to detect once the hair has turned to silver or gray. But, you know, I can't fault him for a little cosmetic surgery. After all, the Democrats have finally learned how essential hair is to their success, and you better hop on the bus if you don't want to be left behind.
Besides, at least his teeth are genuine.
