Yeah, this bugged me as well. It's not so much the expenditure, although given how close it follows the $400k AIG outing it sure doesn't look good, as it is the fact that it gives the late-night comics more Palin material and eats up more news cycles as McCain's time to affect things is dwindling.
Did she need some clothes? Yes. But the size of the expense and the fact that the RNC was outfitting her whole family was over the top.
To put it in perspective, David Gergen from CNN said that a usual campaign allowance for clothing would be about $5,000. I accept that her clotes will cost more, but 30 times more?!
