mm well. I see a difference in that Sarah Palin claims to be plain folks, and plain folks don't spend that kind of money on clothes. There are related feminist issues (raised by Mary Jo I think) about how is it that a woman allegedly ready to be president can't face her day without warpaint apparently, but to be honest this is mose a symptom of a social sickness than a problem with Palin herself. I believe it was a strategic blunder on the part of the republican party. But you are right, I don't think either the wardrobe or the party are real issues (as long as the campaign complies with the law about the clothes).
Real issues: Can we hold a fair election in this country? Why the hell are we still holding people without charging them? The economy The economy The economy Air and water quality.
