Chuck Todd says Republicans are attacking the colonnade behind the speech at Mile High Stadium as presumptuous and "regal." Regal? Plainly not! The capitals are of the soldierly doric order, not the elegant Ionic or luxe Corinthian orders. If it were John McCain, I'd be worried the columns were indicative of an insight of Kenneth Clark: the art and architecture of militant politicians will always be classical, due to that style's ability to express order on a grand scale.
