McCain Reacts To Palin Shopping Flap

Says "She Needed Clothes At The Time" And Emphasizes They Will Be Given To Charity; Also Slams Obama At Campaign Stops

(AP)  Presidential candidate John McCain isn't happy about having to explain why the Republican Party has had to buy running mate Sarah Palin $150,000 in clothes, hair styling and accessories.

McCain was asked several questions on Thursday about the shopping spree — and he answered each one more or less the same way: Palin needed clothes and they'll be donated to charity.

"She needed clothes at the time. They'll be donated at end of this campaign. They'll be donated to charity," McCain told reporters on his campaign bus between Florida rallies.

Asked for details on how they'll be donated, McCain said, "It works by her getting some clothes when she was made the nominee of the party and it will be donated back to charity."

Asked if he was surprised at the amount spent, McCain said, "It works that the clothes will be donated to charity. Nothing surprises me."

McCain offered no further comment, except to say that the Republican National Committee doesn't buy his clothes.

News of the purchases, largely from upscale Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, contrasts with the image Palin has crafted as a typical hockey mom.

Asked Wednesday who had paid for the suit he was wearing, Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden told WSLS-TV in Roanoke, Va.: "I pay for my suits. I pay for all of my own clothing."

McCain also said that Barack Obama's money advantage is probably why one Florida poll shows the Democrat doing well in the state. A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday showed Obama up 5 percentage points overall in Florida, which went Republican in the last two presidential elections.

They spent more, that's the element," McCain said. "If it's true — organization. But we've energized volunteers, we'll get our vote out."

He then criticized Obama for not accepting public campaign financing after initially indicating he would. That means he can raise and spend as much as he can, and he's doing so at a clip of about $5 million a day. McCain did accept public financing and can no longer raise money. Obama began October with $134 million in the bank, compared to $47 million for McCain.

"He told the American people something that was patently false and then he's raised a whole lot of money and the implications of that for future presidential elections should be very disturbing to every American. One thing we've shown in history — you get unlimited amounts of money into political campaigns, you get corruption and you get scandals," McCain said.

At one point in the interview, McCain grew frustrated with a Tampa television reporter during her questions on immigration issues. McCain twice said illegal immigrants who have committed crimes would be rounded up. Katie Coronado of WFLA-TV asked if that meant using raids to round up immigrants.

"What did I just say that had any connotation of raids?" McCain said, raising his voice with impatience. "Let me try one more time."

He again explained the idea of forcing illegal immigrants out of the country by issuing ID cards and fining employers who hire illegal immigrants. He then softened his tone.

"I apologize," he said to Coronado. "I understand how important an issue it is. I didn't mean to be flip."

McCain was in Florida to kick-off a a cross-state bus tour aimed at keeping vote-rich Florida from swinging to the Democrats. At a campaign stop, he accused Obama of saying "anything to get elected."

The Arizona senator said Obama had added a work requirement to his proposal to grant a 10 percent universal mortgage credit. A top Obama aide said the campaign added the requirement two weeks ago to avoid charges that the proposal provided "welfare" to non-working Americans.

"Thirteen days to go, and he changed his tax plan because the American people had learned the truth about it and they didn't like it," McCain told a crowd at lumber yard. "It's another example that he'll say anything to get elected."

An Obama spokesman accused McCain of distortion and said the Democrat's plan always included a work requirement, although it was discussed only within the campaign or to reporters who inquired about the particulars of the plan.

"Last week, Sen. McCain called Obama's tax cuts for working people welfare. Today he's claiming Sen. Obama doesn't do enough to help the unemployed," said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor. "The only thing consistent about these attacks is how dishonest they are. All of Sen. Obama's tax credits only go to workers and they always have."

While criticizing Obama, McCain also targeted his own party. He complained the Bush administration was not yet buying up mortgages so homeowners facing foreclosure could renegotiate them at a more favorable interest rates. The GOP nominee has proposed a $300 billion plan, but a similar one is included in the $700 billion Wall Street bailout recently passed by Congress. Both McCain and Obama voted for that plan.

"I call on the administration to act now and buy up these mortgages and keep people in their homes," McCain said before singling out Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. "And why is the secretary of the Treasury not ordering them to do that?"

The bus tour is targeting blue-collar Florida workers who are like the Ohio plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, who has become the central thematic element in speeches by McCain and Palin.

From Ormond Beach on the Atlantic Coast to Sarasota on the Gulf Coast, McCain was criticizing Obama's tax plans and promoting his own proposals to cut taxes for individuals and businesses. After his stop at All Star Building Materials, he was moving on to a doctor's office, a restaurant and a farm.

"Whether it's Joe the Plumber in Ohio or Joe over here," McCain said, pointing into the crowd, "we shouldn't be taxing our small businesses more, as Sen. Obama wants to do. We need to be helping them expand their businesses and create jobs."

Obama, speaking Wednesday in Virginia, rebutted such criticism, arguing that his tax plan would not raise taxes on small businesses and working couples earning less than $250,000 a year.

"Let's be clear who John McCain is fighting for. He is not fighting for Joe the Plumber. He's fighting for Joe the Hedge Fund Manager," Obama said. "If you make less than a quarter of a million dollars a year — which includes 98 percent of small-business owners — you won't see your taxes increase one single dime."

McCain's route not only covered the vote-rich "I-4 Corridor" through Orlando, in central Florida, but included informal stops between the more formal rallies. The goal was to boost McCain in a state George W. Bush won in 2000 and 2004 but which Obama is threatening to seize despite a strong GOP machine and the Arizona senator's endorsement by Gov. Charlie Crist.

Florida offers 27 electoral votes, fourth-most in the country. A total of 270 is needed to win the presidency.

Recent polls show Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, with a slight lead over McCain. Nationally, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows McCain and Obama essentially even among likely voters, possible evidence of a tightened race 12 days before the Nov. 4 election.

McCain's first stop in Florida, for coffee with Crist and three business owners from the Daytona Beach area, proved fruitful. Mike Murray, owner of the Starlite Diner, said he was concerned about both candidates raising taxes but planned to support McCain on Election Day.

"He's got the experience," Murray said as the candidate sat at a nearby booth. "I'm comfortable with him. I grew up knowing his name."

[dave_p5]

Joe the plumber is a FRAUD. He doesn''t have a plumber''s license, his name isn''t Joe, and he makes less than $250,000 a year. Why does McCain continue to talk about this guy???

[fbla1805]

I do have a problem, however, with Palin%u2019s position on rape, and on rape victims.

Anyone who can spend other peoples'' money so lavishly on themselves, should also show generosity toward female rape victims who report that crime, and not force them to pay for the forensic kit needed in the work-up out of their own pocket, as Palin did while mayor of Wasilla.
(Palin also favors compelling women by law to carry any pregnancy caused by rape to full term and birth.)

I''d appreciate an article about %u201CRape Finally Arriving as a Political Issue%u201D one of these days!

Maybe with an interview by an honest journalist with Palin asking her to explain her positions, and her public record, as noted above?

The downside of the coming McCain/Palin election defeat is that she%u2019ll soon have more time for her hobbies, like shooting defenseless wolves out of planes and helicopters!

Sarah "Shop Till Ya Drop" Palin Introduces New Republican Campaign Slogan:

- SHOP FIRST * COUNTRY LATER

[fbla1805]

Is Sarah just innovating again? Does want to end the recession we''re heading into with "trickle down" economics, by spending lavishly on herself?

--$4,716.49 on hair and makeup just through September,
--$5,102.71 at Bloomingdale%u2019s New York,
--$9,447.71 at Macy%u2019s in Minneapolis,
--$49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York
--and a whopping $75,062.63 spending spree at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis (hey, doggone - this "hockey mom" is goin'' upscale on us real fast!).

Then there''s the $21,012 for her three daughters'' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office as Gov. in December 2006 (thankfully, that bill was paid by the state of Alaska, admirably proving Palin''s credentials as an equal-opportunity biller!).

Republicans used to belittle former Sen. John Edwards'' $400 haircut, but compared to Palin, that looks like chump change!

Even "Joe" (actually Sam) the Plumber must be turning green with envy - Palin''s fashion budget for just these past few weeks is already more than four times the median salary of an American plumber ($37,514).

If elected, maybe she''ll single-handedly spend us out of this big recession Bush has us heading into! Wouldn''t she make a swell Pres.?

John McCain thinks so! Making her the V.P. candidate was his single most important decision going into this election campaign!

Does that make you confident of his judgment if elected President? Or not so much?

[fbla1805]

Hey John McCain! Where to get money for investments in roads, schools and bridges? Tax your citizens? Heck no, doggone it! Sarah "Spread the Wealth" Palin knows a better way, and you should study this for your next big mavericky tax proposals!

Sarah the Innovator has single-handedly created a new Republican no-tax but spend model:
--no taxes in Alaska (no sales tax, no income tax),
--hundreds of millions in socialist welfare in Alaska (including thousand dollar checks to all),
--including the "Bridge to Nowhere" (flip-flopping for it before she was against it!),
--even hiring a D.C. lobbying firm to get millions while she was the small-town mayor of Wasilla (pop. 7,000!),
--paying for this welfare socialism (spreading the wealth) by boondoggling taxpayers from the %u201Cother 49%u201D to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars of our taxes each year since taking over as Gov. of Alaska (%u201CI spend, you pay!%u201D),
--and covering her trail by neatly babbling on about "government get out of my way" (but only after I%u2019ve fleeced you dudes of your money!) in the debate with Biden!

John, can''t you be creative for once, and find a way to transfer this great fiscal innovation to the Federal budget, too! Like, maybe if we got all our taxes from Alaska, and gave everyone in the "Other 49" rebates?

Robert Wurzelbacher was an exec of American Continental Corp., the parent company of
Charles Keating''s Lincoln Savings. That''s the bank that failed causing many to lose their life savings and cost US taxpayers $4.3 billion.
The nation''s newest celeb Joe the Plumber is a fraud. A possible GOP plant, "Joe" is related to Charles Keating of The Keating 5 bank scandal that rocked John McCain!
Joe Wurzelbacher is the son of Robert Wurzelbacher - the son-in-law of Charles Keating - The Charles Keating of the Keating 5 scandal - for which Sen. John McCain was reprimanded by the Senate for his part in attempting to illegally influence government regulators, according to The Huffington Post.

How many different ways, can you say "dead meat"?

[grouchyjohn]

Why did she "need clothes"?

Isn''t her and Todd''s wealth estimated to be $1.3 million?

And wasn''t their house "donated" to them? So they don''t have a mortgage payment either, correct?

So, why did she "need clothes"?

[mtminds]

fbla1805 you miss the point entirely. Alaska is flush with oil and gas cash. Every citizen, young and old get a yearly royalty dividend from the oil and gas businesses in Alaska. No wonder Sarah is big on Drill Drill Drill! Substitute the word drill for money and there is the greed, with no common sense. Texas, another oil state has a similar tax structure as Alaska, New Mexico offers free state college educations to its qualified residents.

Sarah Palin hasn''t done a thing for Alaska other than show case its corruption, pettiness, and especially its HillBilly mentality. This hillbilly mentality is showcased by Sarah''s disregard for trying to balance Alaska''s unique environments with oil and mineral exploitation. Ask Joe Alaska what they think of Palin and they''ll say she just hasn''t been caught with her hand in the cookie jar yet.

What did Sarah tell Todd on their honeymoon night? Drill Drill Drill!

Hey Sarah,

At Nordstrom''s in Schaumberg, IL there is this great red and black suit and the neatest.... Oh, I see you bought it already in Minny, MN

[pr_boxer]

They stayed true to their extravagant colors, they just forgot it would get out! One more sign McCain-Palin are 2nd stringers!

[interobserv]

All of this tripe about Sarah Palin''s clothes doesn''t amount to a hill of beans. She has shown her true colors long ago. Just ask Charlie and Katie. They can (gulp) tell you how knowledgeable she is. How much foreign plocy she understands. "Aw-shucks guys! Knock it off! Say it ain''t so! I just love Saks!! All of us hockey/soccer Mom''s do!!"

To all Obama supporters out there: Read my lips! It is not over yet! Don''t allow hubris to set in!! Get everybody out in force! We''ve got a country to rescue!!

[mcherry78]

So she is supposed to be just like us, however, most Americans cannot afford that much in clothing in their LIFETIME!! Either way, it is a total waste of money since they are going to lose the election anyways!! And Michelle Obama is absolutely beautiful and does not need anything done. Us real Americans like a natural beauty!

[majthj]

mtminds: What I''ve found most common on blogs from Obama supporters is that you have to inject some scum in your remarks, ie: honeymoon..
What upsets most americans that are as yet undecided is there are valid points to be made about Omama and his lack of experience and associations - when those points are brought up all we hear from the liberals is filty, nasty, scum. Birds of a feather flock together. A Hillary supporter said out of the glare of the media Obama is a arrogant SOB. Have you ever wondered why half of Hillary''s supporters didn''t flock to Obama - they put self respect and decency and love for their country above the party.

[jaweh999]

And Obama is spending how much on his election? $600,000,000 +.. and he still hasn''t wrapped it up? The fact that the media has to try and make something out of Palin''s wardrobe is silly. The media is so far in the tank for Obama that they must resort to this kind of ***. If only they would go dig up more on Obama''s ties to Rezko, Jim Johnson, Frankiln Raines, William Ayres, Bernardine Dohrn then I could possibly give the media a little credit. CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, NYT, etc., are no more than tabloid news anymore.

[shawnp20]

It''s an outrage!!! The RNC, the McCain campaign, and Sarah Palin should be deeply embarassed and ashamed!!! $150,000 is the equivelant of 4-5 years income for the "average Joe" That''s a big deal, and a lot of money to most of us!!! Now... don''t you see why Obama wants to raise taxes on the rich people??? They spend money like water thru a strainer..... while most of us are scraping the dirt and grease out from beneath our fingernails after working all day, every day! $150,000 might be a drop in the bucket to you Mr. McCain....... but to me...... $150,000 is life changing money!!!

[beader59]

The point of the importance of this news story is to once again prove how McCain and Palin have no judgement when it comes to properly using their office for personal gain. It wouldn''t be so bad if she shopped where the hockey moms shop since that is her connection to the Republicans and it wouldn''t be so bad if this expenditure didn''t include the son-in-law to be and it wouldn''t be so bad if she had not inappropriately taken and charged her famiily''s flight and etc on her political trips and so on and so on.

Can''t any of you Obama supporters talk about the issues, say Acorn for one and your guy lieing about giving $800,000.00 to Acorn, oh I forgot, he gave it to Project Vote, which is a subgroup of Acorn..
By the way, Sarah and Todd gave more to charity last year than Biden and Obama, they spread theirs around, unlike your guys. Obama gave $7,000.00 with an income of over a million..

[shawnp20]

You think Michelle Obama is beautiful? She looks like she''''s one gene away from a baboon.

Wow! A baboon? This just proves how racist you are! She is a heck of a lot better looking than plastic Cindy!!

[drivelphobe]

It makes perfect sense that a candidate must have a wardrobe. The demand for attire during a campaign is rigorous and far beyond that of the average person. Did anyone say anything about Hillary''s wardrobe? How about Cindy McCain? While $150,000 seems high, it is quite in line. Sound like a bunch of jealousy to me.

[ramos937]

McCain offered no further comment, except to say that the Republican National Committee doesn''t buy his clothes.
----------------------------------------

Give Palin a break. With five kids (probably more later on) and a husband with no real job, the poor girl''s wardrobe just consisted of blue jeans, brogans and pull overs with multiple side pockets. In addition, she had to outfit her possible new son-in-law, maternity clothes for her unwed teenage daughter and tons of diapers. Any wonder why she took the RNC up on their wardrobe offer?

BTW, before the RNC recovers these clothes to donate to charity, it would have to go up to Alaska where Palin has the State Police and various rifles she uses to hunt moose. Somebody has to feed the family.

[fr0mtexwlove]

My! My! My! So much anger and threats from my fellow Americans the republicans!

look guys don''t get angry because that senile old man who has a crush on Sarah palin and that''s probably why he made the mistake of choosing, so now your loosing the election.

My personal opinion he made a mistake and should have chosen Mit Romney and not the booty! LOL

OK $150,000 for what? 60 days? That means $2500 a day. Is she going to change clothes mutliple times each day, wear them 1 time and then give them away? Now that is down to earth! She''s one of us fer sure. There sure will be some appreciative people at the Salvation Army!

Actually they did in fact the GOP said something about John''s hair and many others.

But hey that is okay I am starting to feel sorry for McCain.

I mean it is not every day that someone in their own party tries to destroy them. If John were smart he would have left the GOP when Bush did what he did to him and moved over to the Dems.

Oh well water under the bridge. He will lose and go back to being a senator and Palin she will go back to hunting moose or what ever else it is she does in a state with a population less then Orlando, Florida. Oh wait it is less then big cities in the lower 48.

This has got to be one of the worst picks in history for a running mate.

[drivelphobe]

Dear SHAWNP20,

Of course Sarah can''t afford the clothing. She''s an average person. The need for the clothing was decided by the RNC and they bought it for her. Now it will go to charity and that''s because of the generous nature of Republicans.

My, you have such a wonderful vocabulary.

She needed the clothes and they were donated. End of story. I approve.
