The popularity of an Illinois man named Ken Bone is the product of not just the man himself, but the environment from which he rose.
He was described by Mashableas "the one ray of sunshine in a tempestuous and frankly depressing 90 minute encounter." The Atlanticreferred to him as a refreshingly enthusiastic participant in a debate that was "so hateful." Gizmodogave a less optimistic reflection on the Bone situation, referring to American viewers at home as "the bored, half-drunk, miserable masses."
The allure of Bone, and the way the internet has so swiftly and readily embraced him, has been widely dissected. Was it the middle-of-the-road question about energy policy? The slight but lovable midwestern accent? The mustache?
Well, Bone had his own answer.
"Just to clear it up, I think the sweater was the star. And I was just the one wearing it," he said on The Ryan Kelly Morning After radio show Monday morning.
But the red sweater that was almost wasn't. He actually had another outfit of choice.
"I had this really lovely olive suit I was going to wear, and I split the seat of my pants getting into my car to leave for the debate," he said on the radio show. "I swear to you — sweater was Plan B."
Today could have been a very different day.
