Meanwhile, Barack's got holes in the bottom of both his shoes from walking so much on the campaign trail. And as the caption explains, he's already resoled them once.

“There is no chemistry.” – Chuck Todd on MSNBC

Watching Brian Williams discuss his interview with McCain and Palin on Tweetie’s show last night (accompanied by political director Chuck Todd) we learned some significant things from their impressions. The “tenseness” between the two candidates was only one of the impressions that hit home. Perhaps they have already realized, FOR REAL, that they are on the losing side.

Wow..Elvis’s jumpsuits are only going for about $80,000. Cindy should have invested some money in getting that permanent scowl removed from her face.It would have given her a lot more bang for her buck than that overpriced Mylar dress.

Obama announced a checkmate to McCain today. He used the word “desperation” to label any attempts by McCain to make a pitch to the American people on way he would be the better candidate. Obama has put McCain in the same place that Bush and Cheney put Saddam Hussein. Where every attempt to be honest is perceived as proof of dishonesty. McCain is now in a rhetoric spiderweb where the more he struggles the more he becomes entangled.
It’s over for McCain and Palin. A change in attack now with 2 weeks to go confirms that they are without direction, and highlights Obama’s pronouncement of McCain’s desperation.

Swami asks:
“Is that really what she paid for that foil dress? If that figure is accurate it’s beyond incredible.”
It is wildly inccurate. The dress cost one-hundredth of that amount, a mere $3,000. The big ticket item was the earrings: 3-carat diamonds @ $280,000.

#17, Swami, that’s what I heard about Cindy’s $300K outfit. Don’t know how true it is, but it was often repeated.

DKos had a video of Hardball’s Chuck Todd talking very openly and at length about the bad vibe he personally felt between McCain and Palin, and how they know they are losing. He said they have absolutely no chemistry together. I read elsewhere that the $150 K wardrobe was a setup by Cindy McCain, to further sink Sarah’s reputation, to help shift the blame for the campaign’s failure, to her. If true, it’s a brilliant move, appealing directly to Palin’s vanity and self-entitlement.

The GOP rats are fleeing the ship, trying to come clean in the process. The last few weeks have seen some of the pundit class come around, now it’s the pols themselves.

Oh, BTW, Palin has spent over $13,000 on makeup in the last month.

Cindy McCain’s $300K single outfit she wore during the RNC.

Is that really what she paid for that foil dress? If that figure is accurate it’s beyond incredible..How can anybody justify that kind of money for any garment? It would take a current minimum wager 26 years of full time employment( no vacation) to earn the money to pay for that outfit.

Some people think blowing that much money on clothes and makeup when the country is moving into recession sends the wrong message. Well, I say lah-dee-dah.

If the people cannot afford Versace, let them wear Prada.
