RE: I thought Sarah gave the clothes back or gave them to charity?
If she did, I’d like to see a reliable link for that.

If 1/3 was returned immediately because it didn’t fit, it means Sarah did not buy this stuff- it was selected and shipped to her

$75K was pent at Nieman Marcus in Minneapolis?
I wonder why, who arranged that and how they spent it?
Not Sarah.
We’ll know more about Palin’s clothing budget before we ever know why and WHO took Air Force One on a sadistic joy ride over Manhattan in the fall of 2009.
Despite the Republican National Committee’s promise to donate Sarah Palin’s $180,000 campaign wardrobe to charity, word has it the Alaska governor’s clothes remain stuffed in trash bags at RNC headquarters, NewMajority has learned. While Palin followed through on her promise to return her controversial wardrobe after the election, it seems the RNC has not followed through on its promise to give most of the clothes away. During the 2008 campaign, GOP vice presidential candidate Palin was pummeled with accusations that she had overspent on clothes for herself, and even for her family — down to baby Trig. Palin asserted at the time that the clothes belonged to the RNC. They were not her property and would be returned at the end of the campaign. A campaign spokeswoman backed up those claims, saying, “It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign.” It was also understood that those that had not been worn would be returned to the appropriate retailer; those that had been worn would be used for some other purpose, perhaps auctioned off for charity or to retire campaign debt. The expense was shared between the RNC and the McCain-Palin campaign through a joint account, but ultimately are the RNC’s problem to deal with. The final price tag for the expensive duds from the likes of Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as a number of other retailers, totaled $180,000, according to Federal Election Commission records. But for reasons that remain mysterious, the clothes remain stashed at the RNC’s Washington, D.C., headquarters. A source close to the issue told NewMajority that the clothes are “in the process” of being donated, and an RNC spokesman corroborated, saying the clothes have indeed been returned from Palin, “inventoried and will be appropriately dispersed to various charities.” Attempts for an explanation of when and where the clothes will be donated went unanswered, and the governor’s Alaska office does not comment on campaign issues.http://www.frumforum.com/palins-donated-clothes-stashed-in-trash-bags-at-rnc Maybe next time before haters go on the attack they will get the real story. But haters got to hate. It's all you know after all. One final thing. Gov Palin keeps ALL her promises. Find me one she has EVER broken? she says she is going to do something she does it.
