Yesterday, the RNC said that the McCain campaign ordered the Spunky wardrobe. The McCain campaign contended that no, it was the RNC.
Fair is fair, and from following the discussion, it has become obvious that the clothes were picked FOR her, and that Spunky never set foot in any of the stores.
The politically interesting thing here is that there are different tax and expenditure laws governing who actually bought the clothes. But that's for the FEC and the IRS to figure out later.
The other thing is that the picture is from June of 2008, in an Alaska supermarket. Guess who's on the right?

To be frank, someone, or more like someones, seem to have been really sexist. The notion was that putting a woman forward would appeal to Hillary voters and that focusing on her looks would appeal to men. Add in the idea that she would rev up the social conservatives and somebody thought she was the key to victory.
Two of those assumptions were sexist, in different ways, and it turned out that most voters aren't that shallow. The third is accurate, but they could have drummed up a lot of enthusiasm among slices of the electorate by other oddball choices, such as Ron Paul.
