Five family members ...
Thirty days on the move ...
No expectation that the laundry will catch up with them ...

Now, you're in front of (conceptually) 300 million Americans every day. You'd want to wear a thousand-dollar suit, wouldn't you?

I'd be surprised if Obama's and McCain's wardrobes weren't constructed similarly -- you don't think that's the same suit that they're wearing, do you?

The reason we don't hear about their $30,000 closets is that they've been constructed over multiple years, and not overnight.

(Well, the press did try to make fun of McCain's $300 shoes -- but who's got good dress shoes that aren't at least $150?)
