Diamond Engagement Rings

Americans are very particular about their wedding rings when it comes to politicians. So it seems a bit surprising when Delaware Senator is seen around town without his wedding ring. Especially as he has been named the prospective vice-president for the Democratic Party. Somehow, most politicians have been very conservative when it comes to wedding bands – why, even Bill Clinton always had his on.

The question being asked now is, did he ever wear a wedding ring? Considering that he has just recently been pitch forked into the limelight after Barack Obama named him running mate, suddenly everything he does, says, wears and doesn’t wear seem to have become very much in focus. Never mind that he refers to his wife as ‘drop dead gorgeous’. One wonders if this will affect his campaign and whether America will accept a vice president who is different and doesn’t toe the line of political etiquette. Maybe he just feels uncomfortable wearing a ring. Whatever the reason, right now, it is a very talked about topic.
