Michelle Obama and Ann Romney wear identical hot pink outfits at presidential debate

First Lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney both appeared to be going after the women’s vote at the second presidential debate with an obvious fashion choice.

Michelle Obama wore a coat-style, hot pink dress while Ann Romney wore a shift with capped sleeves in exactly the same shade.

The wives of the presidential candidates took their seats as their husbands appeared on stage at Hofstra University in New York on Tuesday.

Twitter users suggested that both wives had chosen the color to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

While Ann Romney wore a necklace made of several strands of glass beads, the First Lady favored a single row of pearls.

Barack Obama’s biggest task last night in the second presidential debate was to woo back “waitress moms” so crucial to his re-election, after a poll showed Mitt Romney has stole their votes in the first showdown and they are now neck and neck among women voters.

According to a Gallup/USA Today poll of 12 swing states, Mitt Romney leads Barack Obama by 12 points among men.
