$150,000 Wardrobe for Palin May Alter Tailor-Made Image

$75,062 at Neiman Marcus and $49,425 at Saks Fifth Avenue in September for Ms. Palin and her family.

Republicans expressed consternation publicly and privately that the shopping sprees on her behalf, which were first reported by Politico, would compromise Ms. Palin’s standing as Senator McCain’s chief emissary to working-class voters

I learned long ago never question a womans spending when it comes to womens clothes.

Pretty dumb though considering she would look good in clothes from Macy's which would not cost enough to make the evening news.

No argument there.

Sort of like the 200 dollar haircut Clinton got on Airforce 1 that stopped an airport for an hour (sure that didn't effect anyone) or Edwards and his 400 haircuts.

Wardrobe? That is the argument being used against her now


Psssss: Obama's camp has spent over $450K on meals alone

Edwards: We all learned that he was a phony.. No defense for him!

$450K for meals sounds like a lol, but I am not sure how big is the campaign staff, what is the time period this number covers, and how many events are included?

Palin: this incedent is not being used against her by anyone. It is being used against her by her own campaign by portraying a sense of hypocrisy. First they introduced her as a hocky mom and Joe six pack, later to dress her from needless Markup. They are really making sure she does not have a chance in 2012!!

the press coverage this topic got yesterday was ridiculous. To say "they" didn't attempt to use it against her?

The topic of this discussion is this that they (the campaign) spent more than 150K on her makeover. She is running as a Joe six pack while portraying her opponents as elite. This is not run of the mill contradiction or politics as usual; this is a contradiction to a core them of this campaign.

Let's blame the media for her campaign's stupid behavior!!

I mean seriously, Neiman Marcus... they could not have picked a worse image retailer than that??

PS. In regard to "they" I was referring to OBAMA campaign. On two separate interviews that I watched, they did not want to talk about it. They are smart; an incident like this does not need commentary.

She was an average Sarah before she got involved in National Politics. See what High Political Office can do to the average person.

Each step up the ladder is one step closer to total dysfunction. You can see it in our entire Congress and our so called "Leaders"
