Palin’s “Shopping Spree”

Alleged personal use of campaign funds is a topic of this ABC News report.

It would be illegal for the McCain-Palin campaign to buy a new wardrobe for Palin and her husband, say campaign finance lawyers contacted by ABCNews.com. But the law is silent on whether such purchases can be made by the Republican National Committee (RNC).

“The party committee has much greater latitude,” said Kenneth Gross, a federal election lawyer. “I think it is permissible for the party committee to make that judgment.”
