I would have been thrilled if she got her clothes from Wal-Mart. Millions of us do.
As you well know, in politics perception is reality. Right now the McCain-Palin ticket should stay away from controversy like this. Its dumb.
Maybe you “would have been thrilled if she got her clothes from Wal-Mart,” but most observers would not have. Women have to look the part much more than do men, especially women who are on television. Even with men it is important. That’s why Obama wears $2000 suits. But with women it is much more important. Governor Palin not only has to dress very well, but she has to be careful not to over do it. That is hard, and it is expensive.
No. Not clothes.
She buys her diapers at WalMart though. (Stopped the bus, went inside, bought diapers, returned to the bus.)
