Just Another Blond?

Is Hillary Clinton next?

Blond-haired women politicians are being elected worldwide. The latest example is Michelle Bachelet, (photo right), who won election in Chile, becoming the nation's first woman president. Bachelet, 54, a former defense minister who leads the coalition that ousted Augusto Pinochet from power in 1990, garnered 53.5 percent of the vote with almost all ballots counted, the government said. Opposition candidate Sebastian Pinera conceded after winning 46.5 percent in today's run-off.

She joins blond Angela Merkel, 55, Germany's first woman Chancellor, who won election in November be defeating Gerhard Shroeder.

But in Finland, Tarja Halonen, a redhead who became that country's first woman president in 2002, faces a runoff to retain that post. Halonen's campaign got an unexpected boost when NBC late night talk show host Conan O'Brian, a Halonen look-alike, began making political ads urging Fins to reelect her because, "she looks like me." O'Brian's ads were even more amusing because his command of the Finnish language was less than perfect.
