No wonder they thought Governor Palin was stylish instead of a trailer-trash hoebag.

These polls are conducted by bobos for bobos.
Lived in Id, Wy and a bit of Montana for many years.

6 months out of the year, Thinsulate and fleece is how you spell fashion, and limousine is spelled 4X4 F250.

Folks out there have a bit of money, taste, and the wherewithal to dress beautifully:
They've also got -30degF and 10' snow drifts 5-6 mo/year.

Comfortable and warm doesn't always equal stylish. I'll choose the former over the latter any day.

Yea I dont think anyone is worried about fashion when your nibblets are freezing off.

When we lived in the Pacific N.W. people there went to their kids piano recitals wearing dirty sneakers, jeans with visible holes, and T-shirts.
They didn't even dress up for funerals, it doesn't necessarily cost a lot to have some dress-sense included in one's closet for appropriate occasions.

Yes I heard Palin shot a moose from her helicopter and had panties made from it's buttocks. She didn't bother having it tanned since flatulence would see take care of that.
