They just plain do not get it. They don’t understand her appeal. They don’t understand her love of God, family, and country. And what they don’t know or understand, they fear.

Didn’t I read somewhere that Michelle was given a stylist, etc?

This ranks in the…I don’t care file.

Palin and Co., should receive an allowance for clothing.

Although, if I may, you don’t sound very Lib.

champaigne and Iranian Caviour snacks with that money.

They just don’t get it. The more they attack her, the stronger she becomes with her base.

she would wear here in Alaska is really appropriate in most of the Lower 48 and vice versa. That’s even more true for Todd and the kids.

It’s in the mid-40s, raining hard, and with wind gusts to 40+ here in Juneau today. Anchorage is in the high-20s, and Fairbanks is in the single digits and low teens. You’re not going to dress the same in any of those places as you’d dress in Pittsburg, think that’s where she is, today.

Plus, Northwest fashion, or what passes for fashion, is very different from East Coast fashion and even more different from Southern fashion.

I was better dressed than most high-level ‘crats in Juneau - Brooks Bros., Jos. Bank, mostly, and I had to pretty much maintain a separate wardrobe for forays to the Lower 48. East Coasters and Californicators showing up in Alaska stick out like a sore thumb just as we do if we go somewhere else dressed as we normally would.

I’m pretty near the height of Juneau fashion today for anybody not chained to a desk - I mean I’m pretty much top of the line from head to toe: a pair of Xtratuf rubber boots, the short ones they call Juneau tennys, Eddie Bauer jeans, a heavy Filson belt with a riggers knife, Ok, I do have a RL shirt on, and my coat and hat are Filson’s water repellant “Tin Cloth.” Now most of you don’t know what any of that is and if you saw me walking down your street you’d at least watch me closely and maybe even call the cops.

Yeah, the Palins would need a new wardrobe in the Lower 48.

Well, that’s a new experience for me; actually getting the “link” button to work - I think.

The press is intimated by Sarah Palin. She is attractive, and intelligent. Her record indicates she is MORE than qualified for VP and if need be, the Presidency. Her background exceeds BHO’s in experience and intelligence, even though she is not a lawyer. We all know about lawyer’s stereotype.
Vote McCain/Palin.

Come on now…you really can’t make a comparison between the DNC meals vs. the $150K as you do realize that the $486K is not ONLY for Obama right? Specifically this includes meals for meetings, event dinners and staff where the $150K is ONLY for Palin and her family. Big difference don’t you think?

Also yes I agree that they should be dressing her up but realistically $150K worth?? Let’s be real here, Palin is a beautiful women and she could be wearing Wal-mart and still look good. To spend $150K is utterly excessive just like Edwards and his stupid $400 haircuts.

Finally, the problem is of hypocrisy specifically that Palin has been portraying herself as the waste-buster but then decides to spend $150K of her donators money on clothes. This is frustrating as there are some senate race which are dying for money to attack the democrat war chest that $150k could have been used for. Can you honestly say that the investment of $150K in cloths is going to justify a better return than an investment in some Senate race which desperately needs money?

On your first point, It wasn’t DNC spending on meals, it was the Obama/Biden campaign. It was the RNC providing Palin’s wardrobe not the McCain/Palin campaign. I used the meals to illustrate the absurdity of combing through expenditures just to make an irrelevant point. I see it as working backward from a predetermined conclusion by connecting the dots to arrive at a desired premise.

As far as the 150K being excessive, well, in my circles and probably yours, that does seem like a lot. But then I’m not on national TV everyday. I doubt that many high-profile people would honestly bat an eye at that amount. Let me ask you this. If Palin showed up in natty clothes do you really think the media would sing the praises of her frugality? They would rip her up.

To your final point about hypocrisy, I agree about senate races needing money. However, it’s pretty clear that Palin is energizing the base. That means people getting out to vote. She guarantees a better Republican turn-out in all Senate, Congressional, and local races. If Palin looking good helps, then the RNC is investing wisely.
