Palin by contrast is frightening because of what she actually says.

Default But $1500 ON DINNER

I heard on the news that she spent $1500 on room service for Lobster and champagne.

Michelle paid for her own clothes. Cindy paid for her own clothes. Why is this an issue anyway?

And, again, this was retracted by the NY Post that made the claim:
snopes.com: Michelle Obama and Room Service

She wasn't even in the same city as the claim, let alone having room service there.

Shame on you. Grow up. This country is in serious trouble and you act like you're in elementary school.

You've looked at Condoleeza Rice's teeth all these years and you're talking about Mrs. Obama's? Some whiners will find anything to pick at!

Point is? Reps used funds which were never heard of before this election according to CNN and AC360 that were backed up by dem and rep strategists!
If my memory serves correct? I thought that substance mattered not, Smear campaigns, defamation of character or spending allowances for spoiled WANNABE VP's!

Why do you bother typing to these neocons directly?
It is evident that winking, smirking and not knowing what the **** you are doing constitutes VP material!
And yet these Neocon's dare cry'Sexism?" No sexism has nothing to do with it neither does any issue regarding Mrs Obama have anything to do with it!
My friend I smell? FEAR! And those who fear will go above an beyond to change gears, c'mon just take a look at their campaign!

The points are two-fold:

1) We have been told how out of touch Obama is, how elite he is, how much he fails to understand the common man. In contrast, we were offered Governor Palin, a hockey mom and self-proclaimed Joe Six-Pack. But, it turns out that she is no more in touch with reality than he. (Or, conversely, if one blames the McCain campaign staff, then how out of touch they are and how non-Mavericklike or assertive she is.)

2) Campaign decisions and actions reflect on the Candidate. The decision to spend the campaign money this way shows that they are neither frugal nor wise, regardless of which part of the campaign the money came from - RNC money is still being spent on advertising, for example. Further, given the big fuss that the Republican side made (understandably, in my book) about Edwards' $400 haircuts on campaign budget and about Hillary's clothing expenses, they had to know that this one was going to come back and bite them! How could they do that? It just rings of poor planning or complete misunderstanding of the electorate.

How elite he is? I wish the Neo-cns would label his ass already because in all honesty this is getting old!
1. BO is an elitist? He cannot relate to the middle or lower income? Yet BO is not the one has issues whether he is qualified or not issuing concise plans does he? It is McCain whom whom married into money and has been charged as guilty signed and delivered for being a sexists pig, from calling his wife cindy a **** to owning 9 houses and what 13 cars? It is hard to lose count! He ias so out of touch with reality!
2. BO Is a socialist? BecauSE of his tax cuts? Yet McLame had no definitive plans yet all of his proposals cried "Tax cuts and spending" Even though he stated he was against it? But BO spanked him like a bad boy in Catholic school!
3. McLame had ties to Ayers but noone is bringing attention to it because BO is running a reputable campaign
4. Socialism? McLame saying "Otay to the bailout which is all about socialism? Screas the guilt! "Pot meet kettle"
5.The fact that Palin is running around like a ***** in heat? Speaks "No control"
Private message to McSame? For godsakes man your own party wanted you to retire this *****!
