The Republican National Committee will report Thursday that it spent about another $30,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin during her vice presidential bid, a GOP source tells Politico.

Palin took a major public relations hit when Politico revealed that the RNC in September shelled out $150,000 for clothes and accessories from high-end retailers for the Alaska governor, who built her political persona around a folksy, regular-gal demeanor.

The additional spending will be detailed on the committee's post-general election report, which is due to be filed with the Federal Election Commission before midnight.

All things considered, it was probably the best $30K spent in the entire campaign.

This is more AP propaganda. Governor Palin didn't do the buying or the asking.

Problem with AP is they buy too much dope and not enough toilet paper.

In a soundbite society, the headline will be read, and the last line of the story will be lost.

They’re trying to give Palin the Nancy Reagan treatment.

During the same period the Honorable Ted Kennedy (RAT-MA) spent $30K on Chivas Regal and the Honorable Patrick Kennedy (RAT-RI) spent a similar sum on cocaine and Ambien.
