    Name recognition. Most people aren’t paying attention to anything, they’ll look at a ballot, see the name that looks familiar and choose that one.

      About to say the same thing, Dianne Feinstein’s primary campaign outspent everyone else’s so had the most impressions plus the name recognition of being a senator for approx 300years means a lot of people knew of her.

        I would totally vote for Ramesses the Great, now that’s a name brand. And he actually look more alive than some of the US politicians. Not to mention over 3000 years of experience!
