With just a little over a week left before we find out who will serve as our Commander of Chief for the next four years, there are new controversies between both the Democrats and Republicans. Not just the headline news, but the entire media and people across the country are reporting on Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin and her $150,000 spending spree on clothes, makeup and accessories. This story has captured a sudden flow of negative publicity. Although both Palin and Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama have spent large amounts of money on clothing, we should not allow this matter to distract us from the true focus that will affect the future of our country. After all, we live in a society where looks, more than anything, are the prime things that we judge people on. If you have one candidate enfolded in designer clothes, but someone else who looks as if they have a wardrobe from K-Mart’s clearance rack, the scale is beyond balanced. Obama’s TV commercials cost way more than what the Republican National Committee has spent on Palin’s clothes. Besides, it’s probably not a bad political move, considering all the attention Palin is getting with her wardrobe. Clothing is NOT one of the critical issues that we should base our focus on right now. The American people should judge the candidates on their plans for our future, and vote for the candidate that supports American’s right to freedom of choice, personal financial responsibility, and the continued rights to no fax payday loans.

IMGoph: More likely they were just guessing that a Palin headline would get more attention. This is really just a free ad for them.

ok, i give up; where does one go on travelzoo.com to get political commentary? this was just playful banter, and has nothing to do with equating leadership with a great travel companion...? i subscribe to travelzoo and have never received anything but travel deals. i just spent some time going over their site and still can't find anything political there... Sommer, are you sure this is a legit 'release'? i google searched some of the text and dcist is the only link that comes up. do you have a link? there was a poll back in february, but Palin was not included and Obama bested everyone, including Hillarly by 2-1. http://www.gadling.com/2008/02/11/which-presidential-candidate-would-you-most-want-to-travel-with/

It's not so much the idiots who gave the poll which are making this mistake, it's us idiot 'Murikans who lack any sense of judgment.

Palin appeals to the worst in us: xenophobic and proudly ignorant. Her and McCain's efforts to portray Obama as a scary, anti-American cult leader have been nothing less than flat-out disgusting, not to mention embarrassing for those of us that still hold affection for the U.S. political system. Thank God it appears that most Americans are finally able to see through the faux six-pack (who do you want to kill deer with?) politics perfected by conservatives over the past few decades.

I guess if your idea of a vacation is not travelling very far, not leaving your home state much, and killing lots of innocent animals along the way, then sure, she'd be a great travel partner.

Of the four candidates, she's the one that'd look best in a Speedo on the beach, no contest. Although if Chris Dodd were still in the race, it'd be another story.

True, but that is just because she is the only one which we can see having too much wine with one night after touring ancient ruins, and end up banging in the hotel room in a sloppy drunk fuck. McCain would be stiff, we might break his shoulders or something. Biden would cry the next morning. And Obama would make us feel inadequate.
