Corazon Aquino's ability to use yellow as a political weapon without invoking Tony Orlando was her only asset. Nowadays people regard Marcos with amused indifference and remember him primarily for wife Imelda's footwear...
...year of unlikely candidates, Patty Murray, who is running for the Senate in the State of Washington, stands out as an original. The 41-year-old state legislator and community-college teacher likes to call herself "a mom in tennis shoes." Going toe-to-toe on the footwear symbolism, her Republican opponent, five-time Congressman Rod Chandler, has taken to wearing cowboy boots.
