She has a great sense of style. A bit too stepfordish for my taste but excellent nonetheless.

Of course, if my BF were the nomination, you better believe I'll drop whatever amount of money necessary to look hot.

Their money comes from Cindy's family; her father did very well. More power to him and to them. They HAVE talked about the economy. But McCain wants EVERYONE to have the opportunity to prosper, rather than raising taxes and increasing social programs. That doesn't HELP anyone, it keeps them enslaved. There is nothing wrong with weath. We are living in a country where we have opportunities people in other countries can only dream of. There is nothing from stopping YOU from being the next millionaire - except YOU. If you sit around waiting for the govt to help you, it's not gonna happen.

MOST millionaires in the US today are first generation millionaires; they did not inherit it.

The only way he knows how to make this happen is to adopt everyone and let us in on his wife's inheritence.

The topic of this thread is just silly. As some others here have mentioned, there are some actresses at the Academy Awards who dress in such a way so as to make Cindy McCain look like a piker by comparison. Not to mention better-looking and more tasteful than them. Oh heck, why don't we just get Mr. Blackwell's opinion of Cindy's outfit?

Thanks to the OP, I will be paying very close attention to what a couple of other wealthy women wear. Do Obama's supporters think Nancy Pelosi shops at J.C. Penney's? Perhaps Dianne Feinstein and her husband shop for clothing at Target. Hillary's pantsuits may have been bought at Sears. Does anyone really give a squat?
