Who would have thought that the day would come when how much (or little) you spent on an outfit for campaigning would be the MOST important and MOST discussed thing of a single day (or week!)
As if the whole world is free of trouble…for sure let’s zoom in (and spin) every business suit (come on, they all look alike anyway), sparkling earring or black low-heeled pump that candidates or spouses of candidates are wearing on the campaign trail.
I couldn’t believe my eyes the other day when I saw the newscasters tossing the bit of information that Cindy McCain had once been accused (by the other side) of wearing a $300,000 outfit, which the other side recanted the next day on their website, then removed the recant which left the impression that maybe it was true after all. And I say again, who cares. She’s not buying outfits with my money.
I remember when Sarah Palin first came on the scene…she was criticized for everything including the way she dressed. Even called a hick. So the Republican Party puts her in some new duds and now she’s gotten even greater criticism for her wardrobe and her family’s wardrobe and has spoken publicly about where she “normally shops”…seriously..these are not the answers I want to hear on the campaign trail.
How about talking about some real issues, staying focused. This led me to my final thought, how many people “really” care or are paying attention to what the candidates are wearing? What’s more important, the package or the person?
