The not-so "Real Housewife" may have declared herself the "Commander in Chic" of our nation's capital, but she doesn't even get minority honorable mention in a new poll ranking the best dressed politicians inside the Beltway and beyond.
The most stylish honors went to gavel-wielding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to the poll commissioned by the Huffington Post and apparel brand Weatherproof (the same company that used an unauthorized picture of President Obama on a Times Square billboard, which subsequently had to be taken down following objection from the White House).
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came in third behind second place Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Pelosi, who favors Armani suits and has a knack for color coordinating her looks, nabbed the top spot among the 17, 455 poll participants. (No word on whether Pelosi's victory was a landslide.)
U.S, President Barack Obama was tops in the male politician category, but the website noted that less than 6,000 votes were cast for the guys.
The rest of the best dressed female politicians include:
4. Rep. Mary Bono (R-CA)
5. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm
6. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
7. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
8. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
9. Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN)
10. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
And while Michelle Obama did not qualify for the poll that only considered women in elected or appointed political positions, see which international best dressed list the first lady topped.

How silly, who cares how stylish a politician is. How about doing something for the communities. Peolosi has big bucks and can afford to be stylish or whatever.
What is happening to our country when looks are brought to the fore-front. Come on get real people. Our country is crumbling at our feet and we have to pick who is the most stylish politician. Get real, and get out and vote, but do it with foresight of what type of person you are voting for be they Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or whatever. Vote for the person who is best for the job.
