Corker’s Color Scheme
Bob Corker, the Republican in Tennessee’s closely watched U.S. Senate campaign, may have learned an important color-scheme lesson from another Tennesseean, former Vice President Al Gore.
Corker’s campaign website is striking in that the intro page is almost entirely done in earth tones.
Most campaign websites feature the good old red, white and blue, the staple palette of Amercan politics.
And that includes the Website of Corker’s Democratic opponent, Harold Ford Jr.
But Corker’s features gold, tan, burnt orange and several shades of green, just like the suits and ties Gore sported in his 2000 presidential campaign, at least until it was disclosed that Gore was getting fashion advice from feminist author Naomi Wolf and conservatives began to poke fun at him as a “beta” male.
Corker, so far, has been spared the ridicule for his slick, fall-like Ralph Lauren-esque presence on the web. See it at www.bobcorkerforsenate.com.
