They will try to downplay and poopoo them. But it will give her free advertisement. Hehe.

Considering that almost 60% were small contributions of 200 each, and not "big money" is an expression of her grassroots support.

I can't wait until she comes down to the lower 48 and gives speeches, book tours, radio and TV appearances! Go Sarah!

I see that Murkowski who bashed Sarah Palin had no problem taking the money.

I say forget the GOP official fundraising arm. I say we donate all our money to SarahPAC and let them spend it on conservative candidates.

"Congratulations! You are Palin Pinger No. 300!"

I suppose that means I have to donate $300 to Sarahpac

Did Murkowski actually say that?

Wow, she gave $5000 to that b#tch Lisa Murkowski who called her a quitter when she announced her resignation?

Murkowski has been reported to be nervous for sometime of a Palin primary run against her for the Senate in 2010. She has been in the 70 - 80% voting range on her conservative record. Pretty weak since many votes that are rated are cherry picked so not to make the politician look too bad. That is why she is nervous.

Palin is probably grooming someone else for a primary run.

"The MSM will choke when they see those numbers."

Those numbers shouldn't be too hard for the MSM to swallow. After all, they swallow everything that zero serves up.

I agree, to heck with the RNC. I want SarahPAC to give to candidates Sarah supports.

The RNC gives money to some candidates I DON’T support and Sarah would never support.

Let Sarah be the gatekeeper, she deserves it..........she will also be darned good at it too.

Yep, that's the plan. The blue-blood GOP is contemptuous of conservatives. Why should I fund them?

Palin's largest expenditure went to "Edonation.com/Campaign Solutions", the fundraising company run by Becki Donatelli and based in Alexandria, Virginia. Sarah PAC doled out roughly $106,000 to the firm for fundraising during the first six months of the year.

Donatelli and Palin parted ways in late April.

I guess the governor realized that she was not getting much out of Donatelli for THAT kind of money.

And the key thing is that the bulk of the contributions were for $200 or less, small donors mostly.

Can we put together some comparison charts to see HOW MANY individuals gave compared to other candidats who receive big lump sums from only a few donors? I would like to make some charts to really see the significance and reach she has with tons of Americans.

Travelin’ money!

Romney, by comparison, raised $404K in 6 months, while Sarah raised $733K in 5 months with almost no effort. 57% from donors $200 or less, and $250K additional according to anecdotal reports I've seen for her legal defense fund, all small donors.

Good start and money to travel, as you say. The thing to watch is when she starts trying to raise serious money for a political run of her own. No one in the party has her fundraising appeal and the level of smears and attacks from the Imperial Washington GOP establishment tells me they know it.

Sarah, IF she decides to run, will raise millions, but it won’t be from big ‘fat cat’ donors. She has said IF she ran, it would be a ‘grassroots campaign’...

And by the way, in my opinion, I DO NOT want Sarah to do a TV show. Speeches, the book, campaign speeches for candidates she likes, and occasional TV appearances.

The TV show (and I rarely watch TV any more, except to watch sports or a movie) even on FOX, will get her over exposed. I want the American public to go berserk wherever she goes.........if she is on TV every week, I think it will take away from her charming, maverick, grass roots appeal.
