$2,300 a day on clothing.

Does she need to wear couture to be a VP? Maybe she could downgrade to Nordies.

Coulda fooled me.

If you were going to go as Sarah Palin for Halloween, how would you dress?

How much you wanna bet that to get back in good graces, Sarah will now pay a visit to "Joe-Ann the Hair Stylist." She'll talk about policy while getting a "real American" trim at a Supercuts.

I'm not a fan any of the candidates, that was not my point...actually, I think they NEEDED to give her a makeover before they could have her go out looking like she did. But it seems like she is being singled out for excessive campaign spending...have a feeling if more apsects of other campaigns were probed we would find other over the top expenses.

Who .............

i am not at all............... she looks smart, successful, professional, polished, as she should look for the office of the VP.........
get over it...........
Infact people in other countries think it is a stupid discussion........

At least they did not have to have a coach come in to try to teach her how to not sound so hateful! Like Michelle Obama had to have although it did not help at all.....

I know lots of women who look smart, successful, professional, polished.

It didn't COST them $150,000 in two months to do it. That's what makes them smart, successful and professional. Not throwing money around needlessly.

I think this "story" is supposed to divert us from the building allegations of, and arrests related to, GOP voter fraud.

Nice. Just the way we want people reacting to the VP. Get in line behind the president of Pakistan.

They might've tried and failed, like they've failed to make her look like she knows anything about how the world outside Alaska works.
