Palin's stylist

a report found that sarah palin's stylist is getting paid more than John McCain's foriegn policy advisor. Amy Strozzi, who works on the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance" and has been Palin's traveling stylist, was paid $22,800, according to campaign finance reports for the first two weeks in October. In contrast, McCain's foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, was paid $12,500, the report showed (msnbc.com). McCain's campaign said that the reason it was so much was because that money was owed from september because the campaign only gave her a portion of what she should have recieved. that sounds fair but reports show that the republican committee spent $150,000 in september to cover palin's wardrobe and cometics while in minneapolis. In one shopping spree for Palin, the RNC spent $75,062 at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis. It also spent $49,425 at Saks Fifth Avenue(msnbc.com). the $150 ,000 they spent on palin was probably worth it for the republicans. they have to take care of their investment. she now has an image that is working for her like her glasses and to me her hair is always in that bee hive style. as we mentioned in class the McCain campaign is using her because even though she may not be that smart and has an underage pregnant daughter they still think they can win because of her. they are using her to go after a demographic like women or working women with kids. when i first saw her i knew they were going to use her because of her looks. i mean is kind of attractive and young, maybe get young voters to vote for them.
