Sarah 'n' Dippity
When I go on stage, I expect the production company to supply me with the appropriate costumes. The bigger the company, the more expensive the costumes. The bigger the part, the more expensive the costumes.
Sarah is put on stage by the second biggest production company on the planet for the second biggest role on the planet. I expect her costumes to be proportionally expensive. And you have to admit, they are great-looking duds: Stylish without beingCindy McCain gaudy.
If I was a republican, I would proudly point out that the Palin family wardrobe fund has pumped needed currency into the retail market, some of which will trickle down in the form of entry-level jobs. After all, $150k is equal to about 10 annual retail clerk salaries. And McCain says the clothes will be given to charity - think of how much they would go for in auction!
If I was a Democrat, I'd be LOL at the monumental waste of campaign funds in a race where Obama/Biden has something like six times the $$ in the bank compared to McCain/Palin. And even more LOL because Sarah's suits can only be worn for a short time, while Biden's hair transplant is forever.

I know a drag queen or two who might pay a buck or so for some of those outfits.

Have you seen the AP report claiming that Palin's traveling make-up stylist (who also does Dancing with the Stars) is being paid more than McCain's foreign policy advisor? Now that is class. I wonder if its the same person who did Bill Clinton's hair.
Here's the money quote:
WASHINGTON – An acclaimed celebrity makeup artist for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin collected more money from John McCain's campaign than his foreign policy adviser. 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.
