When the Republican Party decided to coordinate expenses with John McCain’s presidential campaign, who knew it would be color coordinated. The Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 on clothing, hair styling, makeup and other ‘campaign accessories’ in September for the McCain campaign after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the ticket as his running mate. The McCain campaign now says the clothing will go to a ‘charitable purpose’ after the campaign. The expenses include $75,062 spent at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis Minn., and $41,850 in St. Louis in early September. The committee also reported spending $4,100 for makeup and hair consulting. The expenses were first reported by Politico.com.

Questions persist about McCain, Palin

With two weeks to go before Election Day, I have two concerns — Sen. McCain’s medical records and Gov. Palin’s paltry media appearances. … I’ve been concerned about the seeming lack of full disclosure of McCain’s medical records. He tried to get this issue out of the way early, when he disclosed it back in May. … And now we come to Gov. Palin’s paltry media appearances. At least Dick Cheney waited until he was V.P. to go into a bunker, but Palin seems to have gone into a figurative bunker while still a V.P. candidate. … In a way, she is between a rock and a hard place: if she withholds press appearances, many voters will doubt her qualifications to be V.P.; but if she appears freely in the media, opens her mouth and launches into her now-famous syntax, she removes all doubt...
