Obama: Marxist?
Pictured: The custom-made Hart Schaffner Marx suit Barack Obama will wear during tomorrow night's acceptance speech. (Evidently, it's an indoor-outdoor number.) So what do you think—is it another cookie-cutter politician suit, or sartorial change you can believe in? Comment below. (Yes, you can.)

Yes, but he dresses so much better than 99% of the men in Washington. It will be so nice (God-willing) to have a well-dressed man in the White House.

The man has not always been a sharp dresser. Remember the sack suits he wore this time last year?
Obviously the slim cut and two buttons are modern, but he could afford to lose a little length. If that is the shirt and tie he will wear a wider spread would look nice with that tie in a half windsor knot.
