Update: Hillary Clinton's style

A friendly tipster sent me this article today, in which the writer agrees with my assessment of Clinton's wardrobe as being extremely calculated (see my post here).

Whereas I theorized that Clinton's shapeless, unstylish suits were a "middle class" costume, the writer sees them as an attempt to desexualize Clinton in the aftermath of the cleavage incident.

Either way, it's my opinion that style is yet another area in which Clinton's overly-managed persona is hurting her.  Most Americans don't think it's shallow to make a reasonable attempt to look fashionable.  A good stylist could make Clinton look professional and attractive, which would really up her political star power and help compensate for what she lacks in charisma.
