And for Sarah Palin, she probably return to Alaska and would be not remember favorably. She’ll be remembered for spending lots of money for her clothes though.
NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin’s shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy.
Palin is quite defiant too it seems:
