Well I wish I could be a VP candidate!!

Sarah Palin's $150,000 makeover

The life of a vice-presidential candidate may be gruelling, but it can also be glamorous - $150,000 glamorous.

BBC NEWS | Americas | Sarah Palin's $150,000 makeover

And some pictures as well..
BBC NEWS | In Pictures | In pictures: Palin's makeover

I read this in the Toronto Star this AM. I wondered where her style came from as I certainly didn't think it came from Alaska.

Hello ben:

You elitist!

Excon,
Too right.
I want THAT shopping budget!!

Reform! It's costly to reform the government!

The Obama Campiagn raised over $150 million in September alone and a $150K expenditure for Sarah Palin's wardrobe is a concern for the MSM? Who pays for Obama's $3000 suits?. or Michelle's designer outfits ? I bet it doesn't come from personal funds.

I suppose she should travel on the campaign trail wearing Target clothing so the press can mock her as a hick . Maybe she should wear the army green parka that she wore when she was on the cover of Vogue ?

Maybe if she were a multi-millionaire like the Washinton insiders on the campaign trail she would already have the clothing that have become the uniforms of the professional political class. But I guess it was her inexperience that made her unprepared for the proper outfitting of herself and family for a campaign.

The you would lose the bet:
Obama pays for his own coattails :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Barack Obama

"Neither the campaign nor the DNC [Democratic National Committee] has paid for clothing," spokesman Ben LaBolt said Wednesday in response to news reports that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 on a makeover for Sarah Palin.
Barack Obama, running mate Joe Biden and their wives get no campaign or DNC money for clothes, LaBolt said.

Maybe when she has two autobiographies ghost written for her she can afford to pay for her own clothing suitable for the American campaign trail also .

I like smart women, some men are scared of them.

More slander and cheap shots at Palin ?

I'll add "stupid" to the list :"Republican blow-up doll," ,"Christian Stepford wife," "Jesus freak," "Caribou Barbie," "a dope," "a fatal cancer to the Republican Party," "liar," "a national disgrace" "her pretense that she is a woman."

Hello tom:

Cheap shot?? I think not. Maybe if she didn't portray herself as a "hockey mom", I could buy it... Maybe if she didn't accuse the OTHER guy of being an elitist, I could buy it...

But, tom. Hockey moms and UN elite people don't shop at Niemans.

The truth is that it's a shot at the RNC who bought the clothes, the campaign who mismanaged her from the git go, and McCain for picking her in the first place.

But, she's doing the best she can under the circumstances... Of course, a REAL leader wouldn't need any handling. What?? IF she can talk about the REAL America, why can't I talk about REAL leaders?

Add:

"Uncle Woman" -Sandra Bernhard
"Disabled" -Charlie Rangel
"harriet miers with a better a$$" -Rosie O'Donnell

And this.

Wow, you guys really hate that woman.

Making an issue about the DNC providing her with some clothing that will be donated after the campaign to charity is making a cheap shot.

Seems like a big waste of money for someone whose campaign is based of cutting wasteful spending.

I have stepped back a bit of finding fault with Palin. I don't know what the circumstances were really of her being selected by McCain; I don't know if she came looking for the job, or what. I feel she will actually live to regret some of the bad speeches, misinformation, etc.

I actually hope she doesn't become you next VP, but I do hope she will be able to go back to her old lifestyle in Alaska.

At least the RNC was spending some money to get Palin into clothes, unlike Democratic Florida congressman Tim Mahoney - you know, the guy that replaced Mark Foley - paying thousands of dollars to get women out of their clothes.

I can understand why the left would much rather Palin hit the campaign trail in a blaze orange hunting vest and waders after Obama's cover on GQ, Michelle's cover for More at the beginning of Fashion Week, being praised for her Donna Ricco dress on The View, Versace having "dedicated her Spring-Summer 2009 collection to Obama and being anointed "fashion’s first lady by Vanity Fair." I certainly hope Katie Couric dropped her little black dress and pearls when she reported on the story, though.

Is he running for VP on a platform of eliminating wasteful spending?
