I also would agree that the wardrobe expenses were a bit excessive and the same kind of look/style could possibly have been done on a smaller budget.
But, to echo Charlie's comment, why does it seem to be ok that Obama drops 2 mil on a party, but its excessive when the RNC drops 150k to make their VP candudate look like she should be VP? And dont throw the 'hometown' thing around..again.
