Sarah Palin stepped out in Kansas yesterday wearing a Superman T-shirt, skintight cropped pants and five-inch platform wedges - her political uniform of choice while campaigning for Republican Sarah Steelman.
While mounting an aggressive campaign in Missouri with television and radio ads, and then serving barbecued pork sandwiches at a rural political picnic, the 48-year-old ditched her suits for an entirely new look. Taking to the makeshift stage in the middle of a farm field, the former Alaska governor proved her new style seems to be nowhere near as conservative as her political views.
After the former vice-presidential candidate was controversially given a $150,000 clothing allowance during the 2008 campaign, her outfits have routinely consisted of sharp Valentino suits, Escada blazers and Elie Tahari dresses.
But the Alaskan native's new take on polished political attire didn't seem to bother the 500 plus crowd that gathered to hear her speak.
Many waited over an hour for Palin to take the stage, where she backed Steelman who is in a tight three-way race for Tuesday’s Republican primary for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat, just days after Dick Cheney told ABC News that John McCain’s decision to pick her as his running mate in 2008 was 'a mistake'.

She would look smoking hot in a potato sack.
That’s it! Oh, my God, when that was first published, some Freepers’ heads exploded!
Which head are you referring to?
She’s got “those”. I like those.
agree.....
Practically everyone is wearing those tops now - not me, I’m a fundamentalist frump - but not many look good in them. Sarah looks great, of course.
LOL! She looks like Tom Petty in a mumu.
The white shirt photo was from last summer.
I just showed it to my husband and we are now collecting his eyeballs which shot out of his head...
If she weren’t married, I’d be dreamin bout
Impalin’ Palin
A purple vinyl muumuu? Must be hot.
My husband is fond of breasts, too.
You are vile with your hateful comments about the one conservative who stands up for US when no other cowardly politician will... Take a step back and watch your mouth as don’t forget she’s also someone’s mother, wife, and daughter... But chances are you treat the women in your life with same contempt....
