The cost of the other candidates clothes is not an issue.

Each of the other three canidates, including McSame, have stated
they buy their own clothes. *Only Palin, who reported her family
income last year as over $250,000.00, received anything.

Please note that Palin did NOT request the clothing -or- the allotment
for such. She generally buys her own clothes.

The decision to outfit the nominee and her family was a marketing
thing by the RNC, whether you like it or not. *It backfired on them
and that's that.

Move along. *There's just flat _nothing_ to see here, folks.

Move along. There's just flat _nothing_ to see here, folks.

Except for the fact that after Palin reported her $250,000.00
income is when she said she and her family shop at thrift
stores. Even if you were so gullable as to believe this you'd
have to also believe she's whipping the bargains out from under
the noses of people with families that NEED to shop at thrift
stores.

People of all income levels -like- to find bargains. That's why so
bloody many pawn shops, flea markets, import shops, garage sales,
thrift shops, and 2nd hand dress stores stay in business. If you're
"above" that, so be it. Just don't overlook facts of life, eh?

And if she weren't Thrift Shop Chic, why did the RNC think she needed
all those new clothes, hmmm?


Anyway you look at it it stinks.

Perhaps to a liberal Democrat. To Joe Average Voter, it doesn't.
One of the polls I took part in (NYDN) showed 44% saying "Who Cares?"
in regard to the wardrobe issue.
