Spending on Palin's clothes, makeup and hair made headlines during the campaign.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican National Committee's total fashion bill for Sarah Palin's nine-week stint on the GOP presidential ticket is in: $180,000.

That's $30,000 more than the RNC previously disclosed it had spent outfitting and styling the Alaska governor and her family, according to Politico and the RNC's latest filings with the Federal Elections Commission.

The latest filing, which includes the final 3 weeks of the presidential race, shows the committee directed close to $55,000 to Palin's fashion stylist, New York-based Lisa Kline.

The RNC also spent close to $24,000 in several high end stores, including Ann Taylor, Bloomingdales, Brooks Brothers, Neiman's, Nordstrom, Macy's, Saks, Target, and Victoria's Secret.


The math
180,000/9=20,000 20,000/7 = 2,857.14


(BTW she spent $32,000 on make up and $20,000 on hair.)

1. politicians are no longer "of the people". they are rock stars!

look at all of the support of caroline kennedy for the new york senate seat.

its just about "looks" and "fame" and star power...

so sad...

2. That is way more than John Edwards hair cut.

4. And as I recall...he paid for that himself.

Republican's should now have the sense and be too embarrassed to bring up the cost of Edward's haircut ever again.

Wait...we're talking about...

Nevermind.

3. if she does`t give the clothes back

that`s income she has to pay taxes on. there is also a violation of the campaign fiance reform that Feingold and McCain authored....but she`s a republican so it does`t matter

7. "and also, too, I sold those slightly used panties on ebay"

Yeah, really, what IS up with that? She can't buy her underthings at Target like everyone else?

Maybe JohnnyMac wanted her all tarted up.
