The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and 
accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her 
surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early 
September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York 
for a combined $49,425.74.

The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus 
in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.

The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after 
reporting no such costs in August.
