PACs usually make their own ad buys or educational outreaches, not in coordination with candidates. This is a nothing story.

We have something called free speech in this country. Anyone can spend their money express an opinion on any race, anywhere.

The real issue is bang for the buck. I’d wager that Palin delivers more than most.

Maybe its 5% because the total donation is high and also the fact that she couldn’t find anyone she esp like

I would suspect quite a few republican candidates aren’t deserving of any of her PAC money. It would be like funding her own enemies.

She should save it up to donate to the 2016 presidential candidate of her choice.

When is “Mamma Grizzly” going to get a real job for a profit-making company?

I was thinking that she had probably decided not to donate to candidates who didn’t want her endorsement.

You mean like Fox News or the Sportsman’s Channel?

I can see a PAC saving its assets for a really key race. Especially when the political party its most associated with might withdraw its support.

We’re talking to $2.7 million. That would hardly influence ONE Senate race and only a few House races if her PAC spent it all without thought for having a lasting impact.

Still it sounds bad..... really bad

Why give a Tea Party guy only $5000. when you have raised several million$?

I don’t care where the story came from...
if she is spending $ raising $ so she can spend more $ raising $ ....its time to stop the charade

I wonder what’s up also. Why are FReepers posting these stories so frequently? It seems the Left loves their people devotedly, but we love to destroy ours.

So? As someone who has given to SarahPac numerous times, I’ve always assumed the vast majority of the donations go to costly travel expenses, to and fro speeches and campaign events, along with other incidentals. The actual aspect of ‘campaign contributions’ has always been a smaller aspect of a such a PAC, compared to transportation and ginning up publicity for endorsed candidates.

And considering the rancid plethora of GOP-E dunderheads, there’s really not all that many candidates that merit such contributions, anyway.

Only those individuals who can vote for a candidate are allowed to donate to that candidate.

I am in a solidly conservative Congressional District in TX. I give money to a Neighboring Congressional District which was Republican, but went Dem when that District's lines were redrawn.
