republican national committee

As many of you know, I was a pretty strong critic of Sarah Palin during the campaign given my opinion of her unreadiness for the VP spot, but now I find myself defending the veracity of her intellect.

All I can say is that the pursuit of truth and fairness can sometimes make strange bedfellows.

Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin turned up at a North Carolina campaign event in jeans. She was mocked last week for the cost of her wardrobe.

She was attacking out-of-touch elites when it was revealed that the Republican National Committee paid for a $150,000 shopping spree.

Her stylist and makeup artist were paid thousands more. The Alaska governor says she won't keep the clothes; instead, she'll return to her regular consignment shop in Anchorage.

She’s in CYA mode now, and with good reason.

The McCain campaign has nearly fractured her image as a populist reformer and she has to do something to try and salvage it.

Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, the Republican National Committee and others have accused ACORN of widespread voter fraud.

It's the latest, and most bitter, battle in a long conflict between conservatives and the grassroots group.

Delivering on the gamble to not accept public financing, this is the biggest one month take in the history of American politics. Still, is it enough to keep up with McCain and the RNC?

I wrote about Hillary supporter Debra Bartoshevich back in June when she decided to break from her party and support McCain instead.

So what made her so special?

Well, she was as an elected delegate to the Democratic National Convention at the time. Understandably, she was quickly booted.

For comparison, McCain raised $27M.

Obviously, Obama is just crushing his Republican counterpart in the money game, but it’s still less than his haul of $52M in June.
