and lets not forget the cost of her lipstick!
I’m absolutely amazed at the cost of outfitting Sarah Palin and crew. The RNC spent $180,000 on clothing for the Palin family. Lisa Kline, Palin’s fashion stylist, raked in a cool $55,000. And apparently the McCain Campaign spent $110,000 on her hair and make-up people.
Now I’m not sure about anyone else, but that’s some pretty spendy hair and make-up.

Now, I want to start by saying I do not agree with most of what Mitt Romney has to say. I was very disappointed to see him change the pro-choice stance that enabled him to be elected as a Republican in the State of Massachusetts. However, I have never understood why the right cannibalized him. As the primary went on I even began to feel sorry for the guy.
I also wondered why Republicans weren’t seeing what I was seeing. Here’s a guy that has a pretty good record fiscally and knows how to run a successful business. According to the Republican Party, he should be their guy. Instead they keep picking fiscally “unstable” jerks. George W. Bush never ran a company successfully in fact he pretty much bankrupted much of what he was involved with. And look what he did to the country. Then the primary closes with old man McCain who admits he doesn’t understand the economy. Then he picks Crazy Palin who can’t even complete a sentence.
Why didn’t he pick Romney? He’s young. Attractive (yes for all his conservative crap the guy is attractive). He’s got a nice family. He’s successful. He’s been a moderate before…perhaps he can find his way back to the middle.
Oh yeah…he’s a Mormon. I truly believe if he’s been a Protestant or a Catholic he’d have been their guy, and we’d have had a completely different race. Personally, I could care less about the guy’s religion, but that’s just me.
I’ll be curious to see if the Right sees right and Mitt Romney is their guy in 2012.

No, not really a bummer. Republicans are complaining John McCain isn’t helping them enough. What? Should he come to your state and talk about deregulating the financial industry some more? Or maybe about the tax cuts to the wealthy? Or perhaps he could campaign on his half ass health care “plan” and how he wans to tax the health care benefits we have? Or even how he is John McSame – as – Bush? I’m not sure how he could help. Well he could help the Democrats more by campaigning with them!
haha

BUMMER!! Not really.
Obama is gaining strength in both states.
I wondered in 2004 how Ohio and Florida went for George W. Bush. Did Floridians wake up and think awe what the Hell, he’ll just do what he did in 2000 and steal our votes so we’ll save him some trouble and just vote for him? As for Ohio, how many jobs will that state have to lose before they vote Blue? According to the polls they too have apparently had enough!

Okay. Uh. Wow. Things must be finally resonating with the Republican Party. They are putting money into tv ads in Montanna. What’s next? Are they going to have to try to defend Georgia, oh wait they already are! Ha ha ha. Seriously though is McCain going to have to run ads in Arizona?
