Okay, that's an expensive haircut

Thanks to the electoral-vote.com Votemaster for pointing out this article in Politico, about Palin's wardrobe and accessories. Apparently, the RNC has spent about $150k on her and her family. I'm a little boggled. Yes, I expect some serious expenses on primping -- the candidate needs to look good. But over a hundred thousand dollars? Jeez, what are they doing -- dressing her in couture every day?

Regardless, it does rather put Edwards' $400 haircut into perspective...

The usual campaign allowance is for men

That $5K figure is for men. Good women's clothing costs more, especially with the variety problem.

Besides, the usual campaigner is not a lightweight who was picked to be eye candy. Dan Quayle would be the exception.

As I said, I understand that good women's clothing costs more but thirty times more seems excessive, especially for a campaign that's trying to avoide bad PR.
