The whole harmonious color coordination of blue tones was extraordinarily well done...

The Obama's are such warm people that their exuberance and intelligence transcends what I thought was an insipid choice of color for the 'D' for drive slogan

But writ large, with Michelle wearing that elegant dress in the same blues as the campaign posters etc. it seems now an inspired choice..

I know it is a shallow response to such a vibrant, caring and beautiful woman as Michelle..

But, as a woman, my senses appreciated the effort... Especially as Romney seems so emotionally jarring and disharmonious on so many occasions..

Not because of Michelle (she always shines). But as a photographer, the film border with that overused cross-processing makes me cringe.

I'd rather just see the FLOTUS as she really is.

But that's just me.

But in contrast, I still vividly remember the first word that popped into my head the first time I ever laid on Romney on TV years ago: "Phony." And that was before I actually knew anything about him.

I always thought there was something shady going on there. It was likely because Romney looked so shady; or, that he was true to form, even then.
