Kerry's team did a much better job of dressing him than did President Bush's. Bush's suit did not contrast strongly enough with the back ground, allowing him to blend in or fad out. Kerry's deep black suit and red tie was a sharper visual.

I was a bit angry at the President's people for this simple error. They need to go back to the people who managed the visuals for the convention. They were brilliant!
