One of the big stories today at Reuters.com, was an incident with republican VP Sarah Palin having $150,000 worth of clothes bought for her and her family. This has been used by the media to under-cut her image as an down-to-earth mother that has great values. The Republican party as well as Palin fired back saying that these clothes are going to be used and were used for only certain functions like the Republican Nomination Convention in September, or for public speeches. Palin also defended herself by saying, "Oh, if people only knew how frugal we are." When she says we, she means her family. The article later said that most of the clothes were returned or will be returned or giving to charity.
I don't think that is that big a deal. So what if the Republican party wanted her VP to look good. I would spend as much money as I could to get my so called "hot" candidate to attract more voters. This article surprised me because not once did it bring up anything bad about her political views. It was strictly about her wardrobe and the good she has done. I honestly am starting to think the reuters.com favors republicans just a little bit. I know as soon as I say this, an article all about Obama/Biden will come out praising them. I haven't heard anyone talk about this at all. I don't think it is that big a of deal but Reuters did so I wrote about it.
