...much different position with a much different challenge. As a senator with $22 million in her campaign bank account and a 54 percent national favorability rating according to ABC News’ May 28 poll, she is no longer expected to hide her intelligence behind a façade of makeup. She does face, however, the challenge of convincing the American people that she—a woman!—deserves to return to the White House, this time at its helm.

Girls love a guy with confidence. When around them it’s essential to do everything you can to maintain a calm and collected façade, even if inside, your heart is pounding out a drumbeat worthy of a Bruce Springsteen song. Talk about the positive aspects of your life, like how your razor now has five blades, but make sure that you don’t spend too much time talking about your own interests.
