The secret of Sarah Palin's style
As the presidential election approaches and partisan politicking rears its ugly head, let’s not forget Republicans are people too. Last week it was widely reported, as though it were some kind of scandal, that Sarah Palin wore a Valentino jacket when she gave her speech at the Republican National Convention. Then there was much ado about her now-ubiquitous eyewear costing upward of $400. Apparently, those involved with McCain campaign have suggested Palin keep her team of stylists a secret, seeing as how they encourage her to wear expensive designer clothing.
I’m not a Republican, nor am I pro-Palin, but I do think it’s unfair to criticize her for merely dressing appropriately on an occasion as momentous as accepting the Republican nomination for vice president. Nobody seemed to have a problem with Hillary Clinton wearing Oscar de la Renta during her campaign or Michelle Obama wearing Thakoon at the DNC. (Then again, neither of them were running on a platform condemning wasteful government spending.) Even though many believe Palin isn’t qualified to take a nap in the White House, one thing everyone can agree on is that it would be a pretty sweet gig to style big-time political figures, regardless of personal beliefs and party affiliation.
