OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 62,000 viewers have viewed the http://www.DressLikePalin.com website this week, scores offering their views on other uses that could have been made for the $150,000 the Republican National Committee famously spent on the wardrobe for Gov.

-- I could get married....

-- Food for the food bank for 5 years...

-- A house or perhaps donate to a transplant hospital. My husband needs a

kidney and I don't think he will get one with Medicare only!

-- Health care for families where the parent(s) work at WalMart.

-- I would be able to pay off my house and ha
