Normally politics and fashion don't exactly go hand in hand. As far as I can tell, most candidates try and look as boring as possible -- probably so they seem respectable enough to get elected. That said, this year's Democratic presidential hopefuls are a stylish bunch -- Barack Obama appeared on the cover of Men's Vogue, and John Edwards is eerily obsessed with his hair.

Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has stayed away from fashion magazines -- most notably backing out of a photo shoot with Vogue last fall. She was supposed to adorn the cover of the February issue, but opted against it at the last minute because she didn't want to "appear too feminine."

Anna Wintour, the highly-regarded fashion industry hard ass in charge of the magazine, isn't taking the snub lying down. In this month's editor's letter, she writes: "This is America, not Saudi Arabia. It's also 2008: Margaret Thatcher may have looked terrific in a blue power suit, but that was 20 years ago. I do think Americans have moved on from the power suit mentality..."

Maybe. Or maybe Anna is just blowing off steam. Somehow I suspect Mrs. Clinton's political analysts know more about campaign strategy than the editor of a fashion magazine. But what do you think? Would you vote for a woman who appeared on the cover of Vogue?
