Sarah Palin got 150,000 dollar Republican Party spruce up

Washington, Oct.22 : The Republican National Committee (RNC) is reported to have spent over 150,000 dollars sprucing up Sarah Palin's appearance

According to a report by the web site Politico, the wardrobe makeover began in September and included bills from Sak's Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York totaling nearly 50,000 dollars, a 75,000 dollar shopping trip at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis in September and 4,700 dollars spent on hair and makeup.

A McCain spokeswoman, however, declined to answer specific questions about the expenditures, saying "the campaign does not comment on strategic decisions regarding how financial resources available to the campaign are spent."

Top campaign staff members told FOX News later Tuesday that the purchases would be donated to charity or auctioned off.
