Woo-hoo! Sarah Palin PAC fundraising craters

[Proud Public Servant]

Sarah Palin’s political action committee raised $756,000 in the second half of last year – a steep drop off from the first half, when she as flirting with a presidential bid.

Palin’s relatively meager second half haul came despite heavy spending on fundraising and a bus tour that fanned speculation she might seek the GOP presidential nomination.

In all, Sarah PAC spent a total $1.2 million, leaving it with about $1 million in the bank, according to a report filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission.

The bad news? Makes my dream of a 3rd-party run for her even more unlikely. But the good news? She's melting, mellllttttting....

1. Her 15 minutes

lasted far too long. I can't wait to never hear from her again outside of some fundie fundraising circle. I only wish she'd take fellow wacko travelers Donald Trump and Michelle Bachmann with her down the path to obscurity.

3. Good point, but

It seems we care about her more here than anything. I remember last year when the entire GD area was littered with threads about her. I pointed it out many times.

people can't seem to look away.

5. Awww, the perma frost princess'

grift is in a downward spiral. Guess rupert will continue to hand her a check for now.

7. PRobably why she's been out there

promoting Newt. Gives her an excuse to be out there with her "Look at me! Look at MEEEE" babble.

Wonder what she spent her 1.2 million on.

8. "Wonder what she spent her 1.2 million on." the only one she cares about,herself.

9. That's Literally "Mad Money"...

This is money sitting around for Grifterella to play with and if and when it runs low she'll crank out another "book" or create some poutrage and the great unhinged will throw cash at her. She's taking a breather...sitting on a lot of cash and knowing if she gives a little wink the money will flow again. It's a classic definition of a fool and their money.

[SemperEadem]

10. So that's why she's popped back up on the radar again--she needs a money bomb

so look for her to say something so ludicrously stupid that it defies all reason... this is how she grifts the money from simpletons who are bowled over because "why she's so purty!!"

Don't underestimate the power of teh stupid when this woman is in the equation.

11. Slightly off target of thread, sorry, but did Michelle Bachman give up her seat in Congress to run..

...for President? I mean, I know she hasn't been there this term, because of campaigning, but did she file to run again for her seat? I hope not, then we've heard the last of her, thankfully.

[Lochloosa]

12. I think she annouced the other day that she will be running for her seat.

13. The day will come when she's lumped with the rest of the fringe crazies.

People will say "Who? Was she one of those nuts like Anita Bryant?"

It can't be soon enough!

[Marnie]

14. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I'd feel sorry for her patheticness if she wasn't such a very mean person.

Give the Palins about two years to blow through the rest of their ill gotten gains and Sarah will have to become a fish picker for real, not just for Reality TV.

The fun part is that Alaska is home to hundreds of people the Palins have hurt, who probably can't wait for the moment they can get some of their own back.


Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[L. Coyote]

15. A million in the bank. Cry me a river already.

Please send me some money so I can travel around the country, and blow 1.2 million, please, please, ...

[Scottybeamer70]

16. I can't imagine

which idiots are still giving her money! Ignorance can be corrected............stupid is forever!

[Stinky The Clown]

17. This grifter and her whole grifter family cannot leave the national scene a moment too soon.

I wish her anonymity and forgetability.
