Split over Hillary cleavage

In Washington, where professional women8217;s style statements are conservative, Hillary Clinton8217;s cleavage has suddenly burst into one of the hottest topics of the Democratic presidential race.

The normally very conservative dresser8217;s slightly low neckline during a July 18 campaign debate on education mostly went unremarked at first, until Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan took notice and branded it a 8220;small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity.8221;

Clinton wore 8220;a rose-colored blazer over a black top. The neckline sat low on her chest and had a subtle V-shape. The cleavage registered after only a quick glance,8221; she wrote. The focus on Clinton8217;s bosom drew an explosion of 8220;thousands of angry letters and calls8221; from readers.
