VP debate Oct 2: Will Sarah Palin wear a skirt or pants?

Settled as Skirt

It may seem like a silly question, but I can guarantee you it will be a decision very carefully made by the McCain campaign. Presentation is very important and clothing is a vital aspect of that.

Hillary became (in)famous for her pantsuits, but Sarah has taken a much more feminine approach, frequently wearing softer colors and skirts. Will she choose the more gender neutral option or not?

I think she'll be wearing pants. And i highly doubt that it is a "decision very carefully made by the McCain campaign." Im not saying thats an insulting or anything however i just dont think that her outfit has been chosen by the McCain campaign. I think she just chooses something the night before, lays it out on her desk or something and there you go.

The way I'm reading the choices here, I am to understand that if she appears in a DRESS, that the question would settle as "Other/None". Because a DRESS is something OTHER than a Skirt or Pants. Longshots are fun to wager on.
