The first thing that shot though my mind when I saw Hillary take the stage was the color of her pant suit. I have never seen her in something so colorful and bold. The second thought was… “hmmm, that is Daily Kos orange.”
I think the coverage for this convention is better than any of recent elections, mainly because of the Big Tent bloggers. I am getting more nitty-gritty, more insight and better analysis than I am getting elsewhere. MSNBC is OK (better with Olbermann and Maddow). CNN is totally fucking unwatchable. Fox News is easier to watch than CNN and that is saying something.
CNN can’t claim it has the best “political team in television” while showing a picture of Larry King. It is an oxymoron. CNN’s coverage is so bad, I keep hoping that Lou Dobbs would show up just so someone would say something off-script.
One of my fav things to watch is the MSNBC crowd cheering when Maddow is introduced (and loudly disagreeing with Pat Buchannan on almost everything). Sooner or later, that crowd is gonna make Pat cry.
Bloggers aren’t at that point… yet.
it is silly of us to be worrying about her clothes, isn’t it?
happy to join the silliness. I was on dkos while watching last night, and it seemed like hundreds of people made that comment. I’d bet a lot of money that Hillary never thought of it for a moment.
she looked great in that suit. I also suspect she knew that most of the other women would be wearing red and it was a smart choice not to.
regarding the tv coverage: thank god for cspan.
Joking aside, she probably picked that color because the backdrop was blue. The orange would contrast the best.
It’s also the color of the planet Mars (named for the god of war), perceived by many men, if color-blind, as the color green.
you’re all wrong.
Hillary Clinton, besides being a former first lady, senator and presidential candidate, is also a renowned scholar of 17th and 18th Century England.
her outfit was meant to invoke William III, aka William of Orange, who ruled England, Scotland and Ireland after deposing the despised King James II in what became known as The Glorious Revolution.
I mean, c’mon guys. DUUUUUUHHHHH! Everyone knows THAT!
