JUNEAU, Alaska -- Sarah Palin's political action committee contributed at least $87,500 to candidates she's endorsed in the last few months, according to a report filed Sunday with the Federal Elections Commission.

But SarahPAC's financial disclosure also shows Palin spending more than $210,000 on consulting.

Sarah Palin has dedicated most of her efforts since leaving the office of Governor to advancing conservatism across America. Yet she is often viciously attacked by many who claim to support conservatism - even as she supports and leads many conservatives to higher office across America (while her 'conservative' attackers do next to nothing, except run their mouths.)

BUMP!

I hope she ups the ante in the next quarter, and then until the elections. Obviously the value of her support is not fully captured, given the appearances and endorsements for candidates she is supporting. Having said that, this is phenomenal.

According to the article, they will be spending about $1 million on the midterm elections.

I hope she gives as much to Sharron Angle as the law allows. We need to get rid of Harry Reid. I just don't know how much a PAC is limited in giving to any one candidate.

Would be interesting to see how much she raises for candidates by attending the candidate’s fundraisers.

Well Sarah raised about 500,000 for Bachmann not to long ago.

With the political juice Sarah has amassed in the past year, she’s able to generate big boosts to candidates just by endorsing them. The campaign contributions often roll in on their own.

Is that all? Reagan, through Citizens for the Republic was sending much more out to candidates in the late seventies.
