Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?

Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser; not Nicolle Wallace, his senior communications staff member. It was Amy Strozzi, who was identified by the Washington Post this week as Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.

Ms. Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy award for her makeup work on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance?”, was paid $22,800 for the first two weeks of October alone, according to the records. The campaign categorized Ms. Strozzi’s payment as “PERSONNEL SVC/EQUIPMENT.”

The payment on Oct. 10 made Ms. Strozzi the single highest-paid individual in the campaign for that two-week period. (There were more than two dozen companies that got larger payments than Ms. Strozzi). She easily beat out Mr. Scheunemann, who received $12,500 in the first half of October, and Ms. Wallace, who got $12,000.

    I think this may be the single most polarizing issue out there. To me, she looks like about 90% of the 44 year old women I see every day. You really think she is that attractive?

    I do. And I'd never in hell vote for her. She can keep her pretty little mouth shut.

    If she looks like 90% of 44 year olds out there, I must be missing something.

    You serious? She looks better than the majority of 34 year olds. Yes, she's not only attractive... she's hot.

    Agreed. Let's put it this way, she's better looking than most women. Actually, I'd put her in the top 5 percentile, myself.

    Man, maybe it has to do with where you live in the country, but honestly she looks very plain Jane to me. I know that wasn't the original issue here. The makeup... with a profesional celebrity makeup artist on payroll, she should look good. To me, she just looks OK. But to each their own, I guess.

    I find Palin to be extremely physically attractive. For a woman in her mid 40's who has had 5 kids she is damn hot. I wonder what shot a libertarian minded mid 30's hispanic from an un-American part of the country has on tapping that ass.

    Yeah, agreed. I found her much more attractive before I found out she was stupid.

    Face it she's looking GREAT these days but the RNC could spend that 22.8 on control of what comes out of her mouth THEN you'll have the bargain of the decade. :)

    Not very good, I'm afraid to say. But, I have no better a chance. :(

    I wonder if she'd ever do Maxim. lol I know, it's a stretch... but, I'm leaving out hope.

    She's also not plastic. Which is a plus. Some of those bleach blonds are a 2 IMHO.... and that's coming from a Philadelphian (worst looking city in America).

    Who knows maybe she likes slumming it on the side. That would offer me a window of opportunity. I'm sure living up in Alaska she hasn't had the chance to swing it Latino style.

    A whole Maxim issues on cougars would be great.

    I am not talking about plastic stereotypes of what people in other parts of the country think LA women look like. I am not into that either, for what it's worth.

    I don't think that she is anything special... Sure, she's an attractive woman, but I don't think I'd take special notice if I saw her out somewhere.
