JUNEAU, Alaska -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin raised more than $1.2 million for her political action committee during the last quarter.

That’s right Sarah, dont hand it to RINOS (or the GOP).
OR, if inflation were to jump a bit, does that whittle away their buying power?
Just wondering if their is further political incentives for those currently in power to weaken the dollar, besides their underlying agenda.
((((((((Ping))))))))
She spent well over $200K on direct mail and internet fundraising. She's ramping up.
Bump
I hear that some of those funds come from foreign sources, funneled through the Chamber of Commerce! /s
$240,000 for consultants, and roughly $100K for candidates. That’s Precious.
The laws may have changed, but campaign accounts could (back in early 90’s) earn simple interest or put money in any not-at-risk investment. You couldn’t buy stock, nor could you invest in a mutual fund, but CD’s and savings accounts were OK because the principal was not at risk.
Campaign accounts are subject to the same threats as anybody’s savings...if the dollar weakens, the money is worth less; if they print more money, the money is worth less; etc.
Whoa there buddy...the PAC is limited to direct donations of $5K per election. This is only for one quarter, so that is 20 candidates and she gave money in the previous quarters too.
As to the consultants, $240K is not that much. She has people running the PAC, probably in the neighborhood of 20+ people.
She has several major websites and is providing in-kind support to other candidates. So, the professional consultants - for example a media consultant (that is a professional director, and/or film crew) might be providing assistance to candidates like Christine O’Donnell, Joe Miller, etc.
You can’t judge the value of the work until you know what they’re doing. I doubt they called you to keep you up to date.
Now don’t go throwing facts at pissant. He needs to hate Palin and it makes him feel a part of the group to post negative stuff like he’s contributing.
