Palin's Wardrobe

Now you would think that I would be here excoriating Palin on this mega wardrobe expense.

I'm not going to.

The wrath should get directed at the RNC and only a small amount of wrath goes to Palin.

This PR problem looms wide in a period of economic turmoil. The bumper sticker "I'm not wealthy enough to vote Republican," seems appropriate.

Palin loses lots of points for being so plucky and ready to jump on the VP bandwagon. She loses points for thinking that she is qualified enough or even has the qualities to lead the country. On the other hand the religious right thinks she is all that and more. We have to accept that. She outdraws McCain at rallies.

Its looking like they lose, Palin - McCain doesn't get past the halfway mark. Who knows maybe they win on massive electoral fraud, its a distinct possibility. Regardless Palin earns some new clothes. If it costs $150,000 in spumoni to get her out of the picture, fine. Fortunately I never contribute to the RNC, but one has to wonder if these funds are government matching funds, in which case - I want my damn money back.

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.
