She's rich and she can afford nice things. No one will begrudge her that. There are however, two issues. Issue one: It's always fun to get a reminder that a person is rich and can buy nice things when they are running on the position of being just an average middle class schmoe. Again, it's not what she can buy that's at issue, but the image she is so determined to put forth. Issue two: You're making the campaign pay for your clothes? Fuck that! When I ran in the federal election, I actually didn't have a suit. I needed to buy one for debates and interviews. The riding association offered to pay for it but I passed. The campaign pays for the campaign, I can pay for my personal possessions. So I payed for the suit, I still have that suit, and the riding was able to purchase more signs and pamphlets. The thought of getting the campaign to pay for your clothes seemed absurd to 10 dollar an hour stof, so why the hell does it seem rational to a state governor? |
she is not rich...
The campaign should pay for the clothes if they want her to have them... now if she was like I need really nice clothes, but I refuse to pay for it, that is a different story.
