Has Obama claimed membership in the middle class? No? Well, then, it doesn't matter. Having money means you get to dress well. It also means you need to drop the "Dontcha know, I'm just like you" bullshit.

I think a person who is "normal" one day and in the national spotlight the next, with an expectation of appearing a certain way everyday - has a higher urgency to invest in clothing. A person who has been in the national spotlight for a number of years may have invested the same amount or more just spread over a wider period of time. Am I to gather from some of the comments here and on MSNBC that you folks don't understand why an investment in clothing needed to be made and needed to be made by the McCain campaign?

Maybe I just don't watch enough E!, but I think that clothing appropriate for serving as the governor of Alaska would also probably be appropriate for campaigning for a VP slot. Why would a fiscal conservative spend so much money on expensive nice clothes when normal nice clothes would probably suffice?
I know you're frequently swayed by interesting questions, ace, so here's one: If she become VP, are the taxpayers going to be on the hook for her extravagant tastes?
