I can't figure out if I should be outraged or not! While $150,000 is a lot of money to spend on clothes and hair, I can't help but think of the ribbing the Palin's would get from the national media if they were to make public appearances in their Alaskan attire. She obviously does not have the financial means that the other candidates have, but $150,000?!!!??!! Also, while stylish, the expensive outfits really take away from the whole 'I'm just like you' image that the GOP was really playing up early on. What do you all think?
