The money has been spent by the Republican National Committee on the candidate since late August when Presidential nominee John McCain elected the Alaskan governor to share the GOP ticket.

However, after the campaign ends, the new clothes purchased for her and some family members are headed to charities, the McCain campaign said.

"It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign," said Tracey Schmitt of John McCain's campaign, according to the LA Times.

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it's remarkable that we're spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses," Schmitt added.
