While the Obamas pleaded for more money, McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, tried to douse a furor over how their side spent theirs. The RNC came under scrutiny after the party committee reported earlier this week that it had spent about $150,000 in September on wardrobe and cosmetics after Palin joined the GOP ticket.
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune Thursday, Palin said the clothes bought for the Republican National Convention were not worth $150,000 and said most have not left her campaign plane.
"Oh, if people only knew how frugal we are," she said.
There was no evidence of additional clothing purchases in the most recent reports.
But McCain's Oct. 1-15 filing showed that the campaign paid $22,800 to Palin's traveling stylist, Amy Strozzi, an acclaimed celebrity makeup artist. In contrast, McCain's foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, was paid $12,500, the report showed.
