This is the dumbest votes I ever heard of but truth be known a governor of state can't look good enough in her own wardrobe to run funny no

How can the McCain/Palin candidates say they know how the middle class feels when they go spending $150,000 on clothes!! I wish we could!

    So this is the economic stimulus that McCain & Palin promise. Spend from the top down to keep the economy pumping!

          How much did Obama spend on his and Machell's clothes -- are they being donated to charity?

            Palin can wear her clothes more than once.  Lobster snacks for 447.00 can only be eaten once.  But then Obamasan had 600 Million to blow on a job paying less that 300K per year..  What is the problem???????

              I thought she was supposed to donate them to charity? Is that before or after republican lawyers goto Alaska to get accountability? It wasn't only clothes, but jewlery, she probably pawned that by now.

                  Why is it that the drivebys are not  investigating where Obama's clothes came from. We know that it was taxpayers money, because the dude has never had anything but political jobs.
