Sarah Palin Wardrobe Break-Even Analysis
Let’s face it: sometimes, people vote not based on character, policy position, or anything else that might be important or substantial. Sometimes, people vote for a candidate because of the candidates’ fashion sense.
So, if we were to quantify the price of a vote (in terms of revenue), the total cost of Sarah Palin’s wardrobe, and the variable costs for a voter, we can calculate how many votes Sarah Palin will need to off-set the costs of her Wardrobe. Below is a picture of what that Sarah Palin Wardrobe Break-Even Analysis might look like:
- Note: this post is a parody — a joke. I’m sure Sarah Palin is a fine human being and I have nothing against her and I wish her the best.
- Note: I’m not bashing conservatives (because I am one). I’m just having fun so, before you cast judgment on me, try laughing at the silliness of this post. Let’s face it — this post is silly.
- Note: I’m leaning toward Obama but, honestly, I’m not too excited for him either. In fact, right now, I’m more undecided than anything. I’ve even thought about writing-in some random name — like, Warren Buffet or something.
- Note: Also, if you came to this post to learn more about Break-Even Analysis, please move on. This post doesn’t discuss anything related to finance. But, if you enjoyed this post, you might also enjoy the Sarah Palin Pareto Analysis.

Great one. The one bad thing is that you are still in doubt between McCain and Obama. If I could vote in the US, Obama would get my vote!
