The Votes Are In: Which front runners are candidates for a makeover?

Ah, presidential fashion. The maroon tie, the patriotic pin, the charcoal grey suit. Boring? Maybe. Loaded with message? Absolutely. As any political aide will tell you, image is crucial to any campaign. And whether politicians like it or not, fashion plays an important role in determining their image. Of course, not all politicians get it right, despite their seeming confidence on virtually every other issue. Lucky for them, we've sought professional help. Aided by fashion guru Tim Gunn--former chair of fashion design at Parsons design school, a veteran of Bravo's Project Runway, and now host of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style--we've critiqued the candidates still in the Super Tuesday race.
