Probably because I can get clothes that fit now, I've started noticing whether other people's clothes fit or not—mostly people on TV. I was surprised how many men at the political conventions had suits that were too large.

If you're a professional on-air TV personality, then your job is to basically to look good in clothes; they all dressed great. If you're a national-level politician, you probably have enough suit-wearing occasions to make it worth getting your suits altered regularly, as you gain or lose weight. But I guess mid-level local politicians just dress themselves the way we dress schoolchildren—getting suits a little big so they'll still fit after they grow into them.
