I know. I mean they all wear expensive clothing and I have nothing against that. I think when you get to that level, the press will excoriate you, especially if you are a woman, and do not look great.

I also think the RNC was smart in that although they clearly knew they would take a hit when the makeover cost was released, they also knew that many a straight male is titillated by the prospect of how hot Palin is, which is only enhanced by a striking outfit. It sort of is a twisted Stepford Wife kind of thing with them. And, the R party knews this and is playing to it.

In any event, I think the only issue about the clothing is appearance of hypocrisy of playing to the lower classes while in a $5,000 or so ensemble. Palin likely would have had better luck by noting that she was not in a $5,000 ensemble and that her outfit was from Target.
