In their second meeting at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., Barack Obama and Mitt Romney switched up their tie colors from the first debate—Obama wore red, while Romney picked a striped blue tie—but their spouses matched in hot pink ensembles. Obama chose a cropped blazer and shift, while Romney wore a dress under a patterned wrap—bipartisanship, it seems, is easier in fashion than politics.
