Like any self-respecting stock site, the home page details the day's biggest winners and losers, as well as which traders are red-hot. You can easily access data on each athlete: performance charts, shares outstanding (which start anywhere from 50-250 depending on demand, and can change when the stock splits, which happens if it hits $20), market cap, and watch your portfolio fluctuate as if it were on Fidelity or E-trade...

The rest of us, whose looks hover somewhere around underwhelming, resent them and whisper archly of their "unearned attention." So, if everyone calls your candidate "hot," you're in a whole mess of trouble. If the Pakistani head-of-state more or less hits on her, well, yes, she'll get a sympathy vote, but we're in Dukakis-in-the-tank territory. It's an admiration vaporizer. (Of course a candidate can't be too ugly, or it will scare...
