Hold that baby!

Does how a presidential candidate holds a baby tell us anything about his or her leadership abilities?bushbaby.jpg

During the New Hampshire primaries, New Hampshire resident Darren Garnick asked the major presidential candidates to hold his five-month-old daughter and took their pictures as they smiled, squirmed, looked her in the eyes or freaked out.

He was on the CBS Morning News this morning and posted his photos and commentary at www.slate.com. You gotta love Barack Obama's obvious connection with the baby; he looks her right in the eyes and seems to forget the cameras. John Edwards looks stilted; Rudy Giuliani looks totally uncomfortable. At least John McCain makes a joke when the baby cries: "There goes another vote!"
