Sarah PAC’s Spending Spree

Palintology

Has its best quarter yet.

No word yet on wardrobe costs, but Politico is reporting that Sarah Palin's political action committee, Sarah PAC, garnered more in fund-raising cash, $866,000, in the second quarter of 2010 than it had in any three-month period since Sarah Barracuda formed the PAC in early 2009. Sarah PAC had revved up its fund-raising efforts as of late. Its expenditures were nearly double those of previous quarters, and were used to mostly to bolster her base via list-building and direct-email campaigns. The committee also contributed more than it ever had in campaign donations to other candidates, a cool $87,500. Her various national speaking engagements and her requisite $17,000 private jet bumped up her travel costs as well. This sophistication is a marked shift from her PAC's previous m.o., and, as Politico speculates, is more akin to that of a political figure gearing up for a Presidential bid.
