McCain to Democrats:
"I see your pantsuits and raise you one corsage."
John McCain just announced Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his VP pick, to the surprise of many. (WP) He is sure gunning for Hillary Clinton supporters and I imagine this choice fits into that plan.
Palin is young (44), anti-corruption, firmly anti-abortion, has posed for Vogue, and differs with her new running mate on the subject of drilling in the Arctic Refuge.
She also really likes to wear giant flowers on her lapel, a la Carrie Bradshaw in 1999. I thought the pic above, from her gubernatorial inauguration, was an anomaly, until I ran across this one too.
If you happen to have any other documentation of Governor Palin's floral fashion statements, send them my way. It is certainly a distinctive calling card.

Oh yeah--she also does not believe that global warming is human-caused and supports the teaching of creationism in Alaska's public schools.
Cheers!
I personally like her ENORMOUS flag pin when McCain announced her as his running mate.

You know, if you look at this picture in just the right light, her pendant looks like a good old star of David. I'm just sayin'.
I was trying to figure the pendant out too. I definitely saw Star of David.

Never mind the economy and the war. Fashion sense is clearly America's top issue this fall.
