Democratic strategist and fashion consultant James Carville took to CNN today to provide his unique insight into Rep. Paul Ryan’s debut as a vice presidential candidate. “His speech was fine,” Carville told Wolf Blitzer, but the lack of a tie was bothersome, with Carville admitting he was “a little shocked at the optics.”
"Paul Ryan has a war on ties." #ObamaAds (CNN actually reported on the fact that Ryan didn't wear a tie today)

CNN upset Ryan didn't wear a tie. Brilliant move not to wear a tie. Less uptight, more real, less DC like. #lovedit

CNN seriously just spent five minutes talking about Ryan not wearing a tie. @donnabrazile @EWErickson

Now that James Carville pointed out that Ryan didn't wear a tie today, I guess I'll vote for Obama. #CNN #fail

The reason Ryan isn't wearing a tie is because it's currently around Joe Biden's neck

RedState’s Erick Erickson saw Ryan’s sartorial statement as a blow for collar freedom, stripping off his own tie on air.
Solidarity with Paul Ryan. #tieless

@ewerickson removes his necktie live on CNN in solidarity with Paul Ryan after James Carville criticizes Paul's open collar. #FREEDOM
