As a self-professed Project Runway addict, I was elated to see that Newsweek has an interview up on their site with Tim Gunn, Project Runway's style maven.

They ask him to weigh in on various politicians' fashion decisions, and pop the big question, "how much does image really matter on the campaign trail?"

 A few of my favorite bits from the piece:

What would you say a politician should avoid wearing, at all costs?
Well, I hope no one's going out on the campaign trail wearing a pair of Crocs.

I love you. Are you referring to the Bush photo?
Yes. And now you must ask me whether I was surprised, because the answer is no. I will summarize his entire fashion presentation in one phrase: shlumped-over and drooling. I hope I don't end up in some Iraqi prison for saying that.

Is there anything coming out this spring that we should pay attention to?
Well, of course, the skinnier suit is in, but that's not going to happen for any of the candidates, except for maybe [Barack] Obama. But we don't want to see Mike Huckabee in a skinny suit, God knows.

Maybe one day we'll have a gay man in the White House. Now that would change the fashion landscape, no?
I think maybe there already has been! Though not a fashionable one.

And don't forget...you can catch the newest episode of Project Runway at 10 PM EST tonight on Bravo. Will Ricky cry? Will Christian rave about his fast sewing abilities? Will Chris March be forced to run? Will Tim Gunn endorse a candidate? Tune in tonight to find out!
