Senator Murkowski Changes Her Colors

Sometimes the tricks politicians play crack me up. And I have to admit, I am sympathetic to the games they play.

Senator Murkowski has changed her colors. To the right we see her official portrait, wearing red. Her head shot from that photo also appeared on multiple campaign document (old website, postcards, etc).

And to the left we have her new look, which I first noticed on a post card she handed out at her town hall meeting at UAA. Its exactly the same except for the fact that now she is wearing blue. If you want a bigger picture, the same picture is used at her Senate web site. Same necklace, earrings, lapel pin and all that.

Maybe this is suppose to mean something. Maybe she entered an artistic blue phase. Maybe it is a subliminal message to progressives that she is friendly to their causes; a declaration her moderate politics. Maybe she thought that red clashed with the mountain range background and decided it was easier to photosphop an old picture replicate the old one.

Anyway, best of luck to both Sen Murkowski and whoever her opponents end up being in the upcoming election.
