Facial Job Requirements for a Presidential Candidate

In this article, we'll be reading the fascinating faces of the leading Democratic candidates for president. First we’ll check out similarities. In follow up articles, we’ll consider their quirks, and I'll provide aura readings -- including Integrity Ratings.

As we move forward into reading the candidates, see if you can find one bit of face data all four men have in common. Two hints:

Ordinarily you’ll find this face data on just 1 in 200 faces. With presidents, however, it’s more common than any other option in its category.
This facial find need only be on the right side of the face to count here—because that’s the side of the face related to public life. (Hmm, can you get any more public than running for president of the U.S.?)

We'll be looking at the following candidates (click on their name to see their by now familiar faces):

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry
Vermont Governor Howard Dean
North Carolina Senator John Edwards
Retired Army General Wesley Clark

So, what’s the common denominator on the right side of each face? But of course! It’s the Passion Power Style, where the forehead is the widest part of the face, even wider than the cheek. (If you’re new to face reading, here’s how to tell apart the right and left sides of the face. If you look in a mirror, it reverses your image, so the right side of your face will be on the right side of what you see. But everywhere else, including photos here, to see the right side, “Go flippo” in your mind, as if preparing to shake hands. That way you’ll easily locate the right side of another person’s face.)

No only do all four leading candidates project the Passion Power Style in public, so does Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, and so does the politically active Reverend Al Sharpton.

What makes the Passion Power Style such a political asset? It means being driven inwardly by passion for ideas. The intensity doesn’t necessarily show on the outside; in fact, folks with this power style usually cultivate body language that is exaggeratedly relaxed, a cute way to compensate for the invisible Visigoth within.

This dynamic style is especially strong on setting goals, even “The vision thing.” (And, yes, the earlier Bush president had the Passion Power style although, by his own admission, he lacked “The vision thing.”)

To learn more about how power shows in faces, see The Power of Face Reading, pages 173-191. For insights into how a person’s power style can change, see Wrinkles Are God's Makeup (my advanced face reading book,) pages 171-177, 199-201 and 230-232.

Another near-mandatory facial job requirement for today’s presidential candidates is having a right-angled nose. To spot it, use a piece of plain paper to cover up one half of the face at a time, splitting the face down the middle. Most people have noses just down the center. But Kerry, Dean, Clark, Lieberman and Sharpton all have noses that tilt toward the right.

I call it “The fame trait.” People with this have a better chance than other mortals for notoriety, good or bad. The inner component is caring deeply about how one’s career plays in public. Potential challenge? It’s an insatiable lust for fame. Like it or not, nearly 1 in 2 U.S. presidents has worn his nose more on the right. George W. Bush has it now. Earlier in Bush’s political career, his nose angled in just the opposite direction.

What does it mean to have a left-angled nose? Two of the Democratic candidates have it, as well as the earlier face of George W. Besides John Edwards, look at Dennis Kucinich.

Left-angled noses relate to having one’s work have exceptionally strong personal significance. If, for instance, one entered politics to please one’s father, that could out-picture in the form of a left-angled nose. But it could also mean using career to express deeply held experiences, beliefs or ideals.

Both Elvis Presley and John Lennon made their careers on the basis of the inner intensity which can correspond to a left-angled nose. After surviving seismic shifts of fame, both performers underwent big nasal shifts, from left-angled to right-angled. In my interpretation, public adulation became more important to them than the personal side of their music.

If your nose stays put in the middle of your face, not to worry. For you, work is simply work—not primarily a means to become famous, nor a means to take your private life public. With a nose in the middle of the road, as it were, you can still do great work! You could even become president. Just not in this election.
