Gov. Palin may enjoy visiting what she calls the "real America" but she sure doesn't shop like it. Turns out that the Republican National Committee (RNC) spent over $150,000 on clothing and accessories for Gov. Palin in the month of September alone. The RNC spent over $75,000 at Neiman-Marcus in Minneapolis and over $40,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis -- not exactly "Wasilla Main Street."

A Republican spokeswoman wondered aloud this afternoon why Sarah's shopping spree was such a big deal. Well, if Gov. Palin didn't spend so much of her time telling Americans that she's a "hockey mom" and "just like them," maybe it wouldn't be. But if you're gonna talk the talk, Gov. Palin, you'd better walk the walk, and those stylin' black stiletto-heeled boots scream "Wall Street" a whole lot more than "Main Street."
