Right. I know. Not supposed to look at the candidate's clothes, but this was the first time I've seen Bernie in moving pictures. Not at all how I had imagined him from stills. I came away with a very different sense of his words. He looked like an academic to me - one at the sort of university where the professors disappear mid term on DC business. Good suit worn roomy. A lot less genteel than I imagined.

Also, I loved Hilary in that chrysanthemum yellow (but did not like the pairing with black pants). I felt the yellow enhanced the direct way she chose to speak and really put her up front.

(... as for outcome, I thought the debate was close. I felt like Hilary would win a fist fight with Putin, i.e. she's tough enough for the world stage, but Bernie was less confusing for the home crowd.)

(... and I think they both looked like Democrats, lol. Which means I think Republicans invest more in teeth whitening... And someone doing poli sci should do their thesis on this... Jus' sayin'... )
