From the article:

The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

Wow.

So what.....

I have a friend who drives the bus for Obama. He loves his job because Zero tips him every day....He asked him what he gets paid to drive the bus and when he told him, Zero tips him that same amount in cash every morning......He loves it....and you know where that money is coming from....

So at 350.00 per day tip for the bus driver, you can figure that up for a year and I think we have a very "cheap date" with the Palin family.

Why would this be an issue when HIlary spent more than that per yr. as the 1st lady......

BTw, the clothes go to a charity after the election.

Didn't say it was an issue personally. I know politics is very Hollywood and such things are to be expected, but in my mind it it seemed to conflict with the "I'm one of the folks" narrative. I know some will think otherwise. And I'm glad they're going to charity. And if you have knowledge that Obama's tips to your friend are a violation of FEC rules, I'd urge you to report it.

Not trying to reason this out, but think about it.

Palin was swooped down to Arizona. Got the job, swooped over night, secretly to Ohio. Her family was gathered together very quickly and sent speeding to Ohio.

I doubt they packed anything hardly that would reflect "attire" for the Repubicans. They only been home once since this all started.

So it is a non-issue and as big as that family is I can see it being 150,000

I could actually imagine Republican incumbents who are in desperate fights against their Democratic challengers and are receiving no RNC funds being a little ticked. But it's RNC money, not tax payer's, so I suppose they know better how to use it.

Sara Palin ROCKS! She alone was the reason that McCain even has a fighting chance. That was cheap!!

Oh gee...what to do...what to do....a candidate that dresses fantastic....or a new Messiah........

SURELy a snappy dresser is the most egregious.

Then to take a Bible verse out of context: "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." Matthew 19:10 NIV

Women are wonderful... but very high maintenance.
You know those brand name purses they love to carry? Ever priced one? Know how many of them women "need"?
Did you know they have really, really nice shoes and jewelry to match those purses and complete the accessorizing?

Did you know that there's a huge difference between elbow lotion, heel lotion, eye lotion, hand lotion, lip lotion, and leg lotion? Did you know that women need tiny, expensive special jars of each and every one of those lotions and a thousand more yet to be created? I know this for a fact, because every horizontal flat surface in our bedroom and bathroom stays covered with such tiny jars much of the time.

Hey, I guess the republican party guys figured the ol' sweats and Nikes wouldn't look vice-presidential enough...

This conversation is a little disconcerting. I remember very different judgments being drawn about $300 haircuts not that long ago.

What got me was that they compared Edwards $400 haircuts to McCains $520 shoes....

Now I'm not buying a pair of $500 shoes anytime soon...but at least they are re-usable and should be long-lasting!

Haircuts are way to regular to be paying $400 and they can't be donated after use...unless it's enough for a wig. I pay $5 for the same baptist preacher cut that Edwards gets!

You are no fun. It's election rhetoric from BOTH sides!
