Modest Proposal
Short continuance of last night's debate comments. The two candidates opted to wear the same color scheme, i.e., suit, shirt, & tie, last night. Suavely bland. Personally, I like a bit more verve and color in a tv talkathon. When the answers to questions are not being answered, when the same comments are shilled from one debate to another, when the ratio of points to be made to words exhaled turns to 1:500 (or worse), you need some distraction to keep your interest going. Since the stage setting is uniformly droll, it's the candidates' clothing that needs to serve as an attention getter and maintainer (Excuse the use of Bushglish here).
I propose the NASCAR clothing theme. My apologies to the reader if they've already come up on this proposal elsewhere; I haven't, so I can honestly say I'm not (consciously) stealing someone else's sartorial recommendations. Why not allow the clothing to speak for the man, especially if you're not that interested in what the man is (at that time) speaking of.
The driver's jumpsuits are easy to get in and out of. This shedding quality adds a more natural element to the events. Every sporting event has its forum and its specialized uniform. I say, ban the two piece suit; bring on the one piece jumpsuit! Plus! The suits are easily washable, which is something to consider with the amount of phlegm and invective thrown around.
Both could opt for a distinguished navy blue basic jumpsuit, lending a tinge of dignity to the affair.
Patches of assorted campaign sponsors would be tastefully sewn on.
The tv audience would be able to see the candidate, who is the visible 1/10th of each party's campaign.
They would also finally get to see the other 9/10 of the campaign's iceberg, namely the corporate and other interested parties' identities.
So, aside from keeping you, the viewer, interested the NASCAR style suit would assist in your deciphering of the answers. Seeing Pfizer or Merck patches on Dubya's suit would illuminate his responses to the higher health & prescription costs. That Trial Lawyers of America patch on Kerry's left arm offers you a perspective on his defense of litigation attorneys.
And, YES, this would all be tastefully done! No Viagra patches would be allowed. Nor any TJ Hobbs Bail Bondsman & Collection Service Emporiums ads. Come on! We're talking about a dignified dogfight here.
