How The Female Candidate Should Dress

As you may know, I have a campaign email tip that I send out peridically (you can sign up here). Yesterday's tip included a "rule" for dressing, and to illustrate, I described what a male candidate ought to wear.

Of course, I received several emails from ladies, asking me how they should dress. First, the rule applies to both sexes. However, I am certainly not as well versed in recommending the specifics regarding how female candidates should dress. My only advice is to dress appropriately. Dress classy. And don't wear anything (such as big earrings, etc.), that detracts from your message. I also recommend picking up a book titled, "The Polished Politician." It was written by a lady named Lillian Brown, who was an image consultant for several candidates, including JFK. It's a quick read, and you can get it for about $10!
