Red carpet, Blue walls! Every damned time.

Does this bother anyone else but me? Every single debate, every election the same thing. Superman-Blue walls and trim everywhere, even on the railings, and this bright, shrieking red carpet! I even considered turning off the color on my TV tonight, but was afraid I'd screw something up.

What wouldn't I give if they'd just use some nice Earth tones for a change!!

Seriously--the decor is so unreal, so unlike normal rooms that it gives the debate an unreal aspect--like it's in Disneyland or on the moon or somewhere. Why can't we have a reality based encounter between the candidates.

1. Viewers like to see red, white, and blue in Presidential debates.

And so the networks provide.

4. yeah, but navy and maroon would be a little softer on the eyes, kinda like Barack's beautiful blue..

.... ties. sigh....

8. navy/maroon would be an improvement.

Red is a very hard color to decorate with. You can overdo it so easily. If they have to use these, maybe a dark red/maroon color on the walls like you see in some dining rooms, and the carpet could be a darker more serious blue. Or a pattened one, possibly. And a lot more wood tones to neutralize the impact of all of that color.

(he does wear some really nice ties. ;) I like his gray one. )

2. As long as we can walk all over the RED and let the BLUE hold up the walls,

I'm fine with it. ;)

3. Yeah, that red carpet was WAY too much red

Gave me as bad a headache as McCain does.

5. Shit!

My red bedspread and blue walls are feeling miffed. :banghead:

7. Imagine it inverted... OMG. Red like that in the background would have been insane.
