Didn't say anything about obesity but it does not help ones overall physical condition.

IMO, 3 yrs from now there wll be completely new people to select from than the 3 mentioned in the OP.

And at least none of these folks are running for President while suffering from early-stage dementia (*cough*Reagan*cough*McCain).

Although medical conditions - such as heart disease - influenced by obesity very well might affect it.
