RNC Buys Sarah $150K Wardrobe
RNC appears to shell out $150K for Palin fashion
By JEANNE CUMMINGS The Republican National Committee appears to have 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. According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74. The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September. The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August. Politico asked the McCain campaign for comment, explicitly noting the $150,000 in expenses for department store shopping and makeup consultation that were incurred immediately after Palin’s announcement. Pre-September reports do not include similar costs. Spokeswoman Maria Comella declined to answer specific questions about the expenditures, including whether it was necessary to spend that much and whether it amounted to one early investment in Palin or if shopping for the vice presidential nominee was ongoing. Slideshow Palin Fashion “The campaign does not comment on strategic decisions regarding how financial resources available to the campaign are spent," she said. The business of primping and dressing on the campaign trail has become fraught with political risk in recent years as voters increasingly see an elite Washington out of touch with their values and lifestyles. In 2000, Democrat Al Gore took heat for changing his clothing hues. And in 2006, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was ribbed for two hair styling sessions that cost about $3,000. Then, there was Democrat John Edwards’ $400 hair cuts in 2007 and Republican McCain’s $520 black leather Ferragamo shoes this year. A review of similar records for the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee turned up no similar spending. But all the spending by other candidates pales in comparison to the GOP outlay for the Alaska governor whose expensive, designer outfits have been the topic of fashion pages and magazines. What hasn’t been apparent is where the clothes came from – her closet back in Wasilla or from the campaign coffers in Washington. The answer can be found inside the RNC’s September monthly financial disclosure report under “itemized coordinated expenditures.” It’s a report that typically records expenses for direct mail, telephone calls and advertising. Those expenses do show up, but the report also has a new category of spending: “campaign accessories.” September payments were also made to Barney’s New York ($789.72) and Bloomingdale’s New York ($5,102.71). Macy’s in Minneapolis, another store fortunate enough to be situated in the Twin Cities that hosted last summer’s Republican National Convention, received three separate payments totaling $9,447.71. The entries also show a few purchases at Pacifier, a top notch baby store, and Steiniauf & Stroller Inc., suggesting $295 was spent to accommodate the littlest Palin to join the campaign trail. An additional $4,902.45 was spent at Atelier, a high-class shopping destination for men. |

You don't wear Prada at the Wasilla Wall-Mart If that's true, McCain is in trouble!!! His smile is freaky and scary! |

Cause from where I sit that does not appear to be how McCain/Palin are operating their campaign and it would be foolish to think they will do differently in office. |

She's not an Obama multi-millionaire, a McCain multi-millionaire or even a Hillary Clinton multi-millionaire who can all afford to buy their own expensive suits and outfits. I really don't think 150k of campaign funds spent on clothes during a national campaign is a big deal. It's a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall costs. Eisboch |

Cause from where I sit that does not appear to be how McCain/Palin are operating their campaign and it would be foolish to think they will do differently in office. She's not an Obama multi-millionaire, a McCain multi-millionaire or even a Hillary Clinton multi-millionaire who can all afford to buy their own expensive suits and outfits. I really don't think 150k of campaign funds spent on clothes during a national campaign is a big deal. It's a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall costs. Eisboch- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So poor choices are ok as long as they are cheap? Think that was the rational? Looks to me like all she wears are various pants suits and from a distance the Kohls ones are probably just as good. Seems like she doesn't miss a chance to hit the state of Alaska up for anything either, no matter how questionable. Just continues to be more examples of poor decision making. For real, you really are comfortable with her as the "backup" for the president? Cause that scares the crap outta me. What experience does Obama have that qualifies him to be POTUS???????? He is the one running for the POTUS.........Sarah is running for VP. ;-) What experience does McCain have that is relevant to being president? Worse, McCain has bad judgment and a short temper. He's like Bush, but older. No thanks. Better yet..........what experience does Obama have that is relevant to being president? What experience does McCain have that is relevant to being president? |

Elections have become beauty contests anyway. Why wouldn't we expect wardrobe expenses? Palin is new, she hasn't had the chance to accumulate a closet full of clothes. You don't wear Prada at the Wasilla Wall-Mart If that's true, McCain is in trouble!!! His smile is freaky and scary! It is a campaign expense. Perfectly acceptable. Isn't it amazing what the pundits will pick up on ..... and the media goes nuts with. Who cares? It's money to be used in the course of running for office. Eisboch You miss the point. The point is that it is another example of faulty decision making. You going to be ok with these sorts of decisions if she was in office? Do the ends justfy the means for you? Or do you think it's important to also do the right thing?

A whole lot more than Nobama has. Why the libs are making a deal of Sarah's experience is beyond me considering that she has more executive experience than Nobama has.......and Nobama is the one running at the top of the ticket. |

And almost everything the Republicans have claimed about her has turned out to be bullschitt. I loved her comments about what she thinks the role of the VP is...she thinks if elected she'll be Senate Majority Leader. She has no understanding of the Constitutional role of the VP. The Wall Street Journal, a right-leaning newspaper, released a poll today in which it was revealed that 55% of the populace does not believe Palin has what it takes to be VP. McCain exercised poor judgment in picking Palin. |
