Town Hall forum is the worst. With every question, Kerry will promise everything, while Bush will be left explaining why he didn't give more money to whichever special interest asks the question.

Re TV Interview...and Color... Bush and Kerry are both interviewing for a job. The interview is done on TV. If the image is something that people "feel" they can trust, then they listen to what is being said. Hopefully, Bush will be rested a bit more this time, and hasn't had to go to see disaster victims the same day, plus had to receive really terrible news that same day... An hour of peace and quiet would be the best tonic available. IMO. Bush certainly knows how to dress formally, and I also think he is more comfortable in more casual attire. However, good Image Consultants will give him some good tips. This info applies more to Kerry and to women (the make up part), but most men do need to know that the camera will wash them out if they choose colors that are too light. I did notice that Kerry's Orange color from the couple of days before had worn down to just more an orange glow....Maybe he wanted to prepare for Halloween early. Looking Your Best on Television onlinewbc.gov There are a few guidelines that will help you put your best foot forward and ensure that the viewing audience focuses on your message and not on your pocket scarf! Clothing - What should I wear? Bright, solid colors look best on camera. Choose rich colors such as a royal or deep navy blue, hunter or kelly green, deep purple, chestnut brown or maroon. Choose smart, tailored, business-like attire like suits, dresses and pantsuits. Be a professional! Avoid red, white, ivory and light pastel colors in dresses, jackets and suits. These colors, however, are fine for blouses (under a jacket), ties and scarves. Hint: If you have a few days' notice, watch what female TV news anchors wear. Avoid small, busy patterns, such as small plaids, tiny checks, mini-stripes and paisley patterns. Don't wear any shiny fabrics. Don't wear overpowering scarves or ties. Avoid wearing large amounts or large dangling pieces of shiny jewelry, including necklaces, earrings and pins. (Unless, of course, you're the jewelry designer!) Choose dull finished jewelry or pearls instead. Hair and Make Up Tips If offered the services of a make-up professional at a studio, take them up on it. Professionals understand how to make any skin type look good through a camera's eye. Wear your makeup as you normally would for every day. Avoid overdoing it! Brush on some loose powder to help eliminate shine. Choose a long-wearing matte lipstick. Even if you normally don't wear make up, powder and lipstick will help you avoid looking "washed out" by the bright lights.
