(CNN) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee is confirming a flood of new donations that push her cash haul close to the million-dollar mark, as one of the nation's largest liberal PACs announced an ad targeting the former GOP vice presidential candidate.
Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton confirmed a report in the Anchorage Daily News that more than $200,000 had poured into SarahPAC since Palin's announcement a week and a half ago that she would be leaving office by the end of the month.
Those funds, along with $732,867 received through June 30 according to federal campaign finance filings, leave the governor just shy of a million dollars in donations to date since SarahPAC's January launch.

The news came as MoveOn.org began e-mailing members Tuesday, asking them to fund a rapid response ad blasting Palin's new Washington Post op-ed that criticized President Obama's position on "cap and trade" legislation a major part of the administration's effort to overhaul the nation's energy policy.
The group said Palin was positioning herself as the face of conservative opposition to Obama's energy policy, telling supporters her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."
The group has not yet said where the spot would air, or revealed the scope of any potential ad buy.

Beautiful picture! The scarf Sarah is wearing is knitted from qiviut, (KIVY-oot) the soft SOFT underwool from the musk ox. It makes incredibly warm scarves, hats, and mittens.
Sara Baracuda smells blood in the water...dead fish will soon be floating down-steam
Mercy! $ORO$ is too poor to pay for an ad ALREADY??? Sure makes ME want to know what he did with all that "stimulus" money...
John McCain ISN’T a conservative, but she’s still supporting him. He did help propel her politically “big time”, but McCain is still a RINO politician. This is really going to be a problem for her, but, maybe, in discussing it now, she will, also, be able to resolve this problem, somehow. I really want only the best for Sarah, but I’m not convinced that she’s completely shunning the RINO wing of the entire GOP. All RINOs have seriously got to go away forever, or else, it will eventually really be the end for the entire GOP!
She is doing her best to support the GOP.
She has to, as it is the only venue from which we can restore this country. The RINOs have to be dealt with, but not out in the open. Remember Reagan’s “11th commandment.”
Some things need to be done for strategic reasons. It always surprises me when someone we love does something WE don't think they should. The old adage, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" comes to mind. Maybe this is Sarah's way of keeping an eye on weak people.
I always have to laugh when a thread pops up with a "disappointing" report about Sarah. Just the day before, we loved her with a passion, but if she makes a choice or a statement we don't agree with, we all jump up and holler, "That's IT! No more money from ME!! I'm sitting out this election!" :o) She is a good tactical thinker. I believe I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
A very sensible policy!
I believe this is key. Money is the mother's milk of politics. New reps and senators get to Washington to discover that they have to toe the party line in order to have any chance of re-election. How sad for our country that our formerly honest representatives are so cheaply bought off.
I learned something new, thank you, redhead.
What are the chances of you knitting me a qiviut hat and gloves?
A couple of years ago we tried to get a law passed that said campaign fund had to come from people and businesses within the state.....You wouldn’t believe the number of people and amount of money that came in to the stae to defeat it.
Sarah understand how it works....She works for a few conservative democrats and they owe her.
Yeah, yeah. I'll get excited when there's an Ann Coulter For jla's Girlfriend shirt.
May all of moveon’s donors become the victims of what they voted for!
You know the rule...you said her name and there was no picture....time out for you!
She has bigger fish to fry. She is the only republican right now who can draw attention to the conservative opinion on various topics. No other republican politician carries that kind of authority.
Once she has established herself and her conservative credentials, she can start measuring the RINOs and contrasting them against what she has established. If they get in her way, I'm sure she'll have no problem whatsoever going after them as well as the democrats. Since when dealing with her, these RINOs have done nothing but pretend Reagan and his "11th Commandment" never existed. And Reagan himself had no problem going against liberal republicans like Rockefeller when they got in his way.
The Lib's panties would get so twisted, their heads would pop off.
I spun some into yarn years ago, but sneezed the whole time I was at it. It doesn't like me much, I guess.
Fortunately for all of us, she OWES McCain her full support.
Without McCain she would still be just Governor of Alaska.
Surely that isn't what you would wish for with a magic wand is it?
No time-outs for me, I’m a Bobby Knight fan!
Didn't see anything at the Qiviut Store I'd want to have. Reckon I'll pick up another sweater next time I'm in Ireland.
