If you've been following the internet buzz about the outfit Cindy McCain was wearing on Thursday, you know that it cost around $300,000. She can afford it, of course, so that's no luxury for her. She is said to favor Oscar De La Renta, Michael Kors, Escada, and Carolina Herrera (not a relative of mine). In the sixties, Jacqueline Kennedy used to be very closely watched for her trendy fashion style. The new women in high politics - Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain, and Mrs Biden - will now, for the next two months at least, also be the focus of a lot of media attention for what they choose to wear. Perhaps also for what they choose not to wear. They will, simply by making these choices, create lots of jobs for people in the fashion industry - especially those who work for their favorite designers. That's something to think about.
