Rob,

I have no problem with him wearing that garb. Maybe you missed the part 
where I said I'd do the same were I in the same situation.

As far as attempts to discredit the guy, I agree, that's what the garb 
thing was (have you really been reading the discussion? I have to wonder 
...). Hillary should be ashamed of her campaign workers for the effort. 
Well, she should at least be PUBLICLY ashamed... who knows how she feels 
about it in private...
