still watching cspan at 12:17 AM and watching bush's speach form the 2000 republican national convention. two observations: 1. my god was little bush a horrible speaker. amazing. listening to him made kerry look remarkably relazed, smooth, and so friggin coherent. 2. kerry, edwards, teresa, and edward's wife were wearing nearly the exact same colors (ties and dresses) in 2004 as bush and cheney and their wives in 2000. weird. is the red tie, blue tie, white dress, and light blue dress a standard thing?

ChrisO [ 07/30/2004 16:38]: perception polls of tie color showed that when red clothing is worn, the wearer was percieved as strong/hawkish. Blue clothing was the opposite.. I find it consistent but interesting that Teresa Heinz-Kerry wore Red given the criticisms abound about her forward manner.

rachel [ 08/02/2004 11:05]: Kerry wore red paisley-ish tie (I think the paisley plays down the hawkish/corporateness a bit, to good effect), Edwards wore blue tie, Elizabeth Edwards wore light blue pants suit, and Teresa wore an all-white skirt suit.
