Every time I think the campaign professionals at the Republican National Committee can’t possibly do anything else to sink the party, they do something else that simply defies logical explanation. Like taking a candidate who epitomizes Middle American values and spending $150,000 to dress her up in Saks Fifth Avenue finery.
Apparently, they just couldn’t stand the thought of a GOP candidate for vice president actually wearing the same clothes on the campaign trail that she wears in real life. No, they had to go make her look like … one of them.
Did nobody over there think it through and realize doing this would hand Obama and the Democrats the last perfect piece of evidence of how out of touch Republicans are with the real world?
Didn’t any of them stop and think – what happens when this hits Politico? As they had to know it would?
And then they wonder why the American people – most of whom for a dozen years looked to the GOP to fix America, as the party had been promising to do for decades – have mostly decided Republicans are no longer to be believed.
Short of a top-to-bottom transformation in leadership, ethics, intelligence and principles, it’s difficult to see a future for this bunch.
