Well, damned if you do and damned if you don't. I can just imagine the media types going after her if she showed up for the debate in her GAP clothes with her Land's End boots. Have any idea what Obama or McCain pays for a suit or even a tie? Yes it is a lot of money for clothes, but so is $3,000,000.00 to be spent on a few TV spots this month by the DNC. How much food or healthcare would that buy? Do you think any of the money raised by the DNC, or the RNC for that matter, from the celebs with a cause will be spent to buy any cows?

Don't you think that using large amounts of money to further your campaign is a little different than using it to create a falsehood? Yes both parties use ridiculous amounts of money, but isn't the point that Palin has claimed to be your everyday gal? Your everyday gal clothed in the finest garments money can buy.
You're both right--The Republicans are phonies (gasp!), and you could fund a shitload of social justice with the millions that have been poured into the Obama campaign. But Margaret makes the really important point in her first paragraph: This whole debate is a stupid distraction--or should I say a brilliant misdirection? As far as I'm concerned, everybody in the race could have a few billion to stock their closets if they'd all promise to quit slaughtering people in our name.
just remember, sarah palin is attacked by every major network except Fox, 90% of every newspaper, 95% of every university in this country, Public radio, public schools and TV, but the average citizen is too stupid to understand or comprehend this. Yet sarah palin survives and is in the game. This must drive the left crazy knowing they control the airways and she still is viable.
