$150,000 on clothes....just like the rest of us
I find this story interesting.....
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14805.html Palin spending about $150K on clothes since August, all on the RNC dime....at high brow places like Needless Markup and SFA. Hardly fits in with her phony Joe Six Pack persona she wants everyone to embrace. How many hockey moms spend that kind of scratch in a year, let alone 8 weeks? The truth is, you can't really blame her faulty intellect on her backwoods existence when she is shopping at some of the finest retailers in the country. She can't even be a hick without messing that up, too.

yeah, I posted this yesterday and didn't get any bites.
You can probably buy a couple of houses in Wasilla for that kind of dough. |

We might have a chance. If this is the stuff that you guys are having to hang onto now to discredit her.

The media freaked out over John Edwards paying $400 for a haircut.
This seems to be worse. The $400 was his own money. This is Sarah taking political funds and going on a shopping spree for her and her family. It is also a huge political miscalculation. How powerful would it have been for her to buy her clothes and a local mom and pop or maybe even target? That would be something everyone could relate to. By going to Ne-Ma and dropping $40K or whatever it was, she shows that she is out of touch with the only thing that she had going for herself.....Main Street USA appeal.

I am pointing to it as yet another political blunder on her part....or at least the part of her advisors. Based on your non-response to the issue, I take it that you really have no defense for her egregious behavior? It would be interesting to hear how Repubs can spin this one to make it seem ok.

However, if you'd like us to explain all the ways in which she's not a conservative, or a maverick, or a special needs advocate, or a feminist, or whatever else, we're able to do that as well. |

If true, huge blunder by her and her advisors. What was she (were they) thinking? I'm just curious how one can spend that much on clothes. I've watched "What not to Wear" on occasion and get freaked out when they hand people $5000 for shopping. Can we now get a clothing budget for Obama and Biden as well?

Absolutely. The only thing left that we *couldn't* argue with was that she's solidly middle class. Now she's blowing that on her own, too. Her clothing is worth 3 years' salary of the voters she's supposed to appeal to.

And there's no reason to think this is not true. The McCain staff released the numbers of their own accord. Last edited by BarbaraGordon; 10-22-2008 at 05:55 PM. |

I wouldn't be surprised to see Michelle and Barry with similar contributions to their wardrobe.
