(Sorry, couldn't resist! Jesse is a BIG dude!)
That is one fugly (freaking ugly) guy in that picture! What was he thinking? Looks don't matter in politics?! (Oh, don't go there....

)
People's perceptions do matter to a point. Do you suppose Jesse was happy with himself when he grew all of that out?
