Call me crazy but...
Is it time to head for the hills?
Life of no frills?
Cyanide pills?

Republican spending = dirty, Democratic spending = what spending?

The media's swooning over Barack Obama's victory and the strafing of Sarah Palin continues. This time we hear from Andrea Mitchell today that the RNC actually spent more than $150,000 reported on Palin's campaign wardrobe, to the tune of about $183,000. Oh, really? This is the story? How about the obscene amounts of money spent on the entire election? Isn't that a better story? Isn't the fact that money played a huge role in Obama's victory a more tantalizing thread to pick up than an extra $33,000 spent on clothing (nevermind the pure sexism in even running this story -- where's the outrage from women?)? Obama spent upwards of $847 million on the election, compared to about $500 million by McCain. Granted, Mac's amount is nothing to sneeze at, but a near $350 million difference between the two is staggering. Not to mention that the public side of the campaign finance system is dead.

From now on, may the biggest wallet win.
