What's up with the Dorky Democratic Bow ties?

If Bow ties are cool, Sarah Palin in Supreme Court material....

I think they're interesting.

On the other hand, I've never understood why people start their day by tying a noose around their necks. Isn't that an ominous tone to begin with?

I think bow ties are coming back as "geek chic" just like those big horned rimmed glasses that every pundit seems to be wearing these days. I will say this--my boys and their friends all wore bow ties with their tuxes to prom this year. In the past most of the boys wore regular solid color ties and a vest with their tuxedo jacket, but bow ties are evidently becoming all the rage. Still--I don't see my husband putting one on with his basic gray business suits any time in the near future.

I don't think this is a democrat thing.

I think it's an ever changing tide of fashion thing.

Clarification: Bow ties with a tuxedo are cool, and if you look like Daniel Craig, I'll keep my mouth shut.

If you look like Barney Fife.... I am guessing you are a democratic senator!
