"Politico recently reported that the Republican National Committee has spent $150,000 (since September) making Sarah Palin look like that difficult combination of pretty, polished, down-to-earth, professional, and most importantly, electable. Keep reading to get the breakdown on just how much it costs to clothe and accessorize a would-be VP. According to the report, Palin&amp;#x27;s people dropped close to $50,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue, more than $75,000 at Neiman Marcus, and $4,716 on hair and makeup. Apparently $295 was also spent at an upscale baby store to make the youngest Palin look White House-ready. A spokeswoman for the campaign is now claiming that it was always their intent that &amp;quot;the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign.&amp;quot; But if you&amp;#x27;re a Republican who forked over your hard-earned dollars to contribute to the cause, would you be upset this is how it was spent? And do you think in the current economic climate, it&amp;#x27;s wise to be spending a small house&amp;#x27;s worth of cash on Valentino jackets and knee-high boots? Discuss. Is $150,000 too much for the RNC to spend on Sarah Palin&amp;#x27;s wardrobe? ( polls)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
