When was the last time she ran for any office? Bueller? Bueller?

As I understand it, this is a PAC for donating to and supporting candidates she and her followers would choose to support, not for her own candidacy, although the funds could be converted should she choose to run. It doesn’t matter if *she* is a candidate or not, she’s raising money for political purposes. $150K in donations IS a pretty paltry showing of the $2.7M raised.

It would be interesting to see how much was spent on her travel to rallies, etc. for those candidates. That is worth as much to a candidate as an actual cash donation. The PAC needs to explain that.

At the opposite end of the political spectrum, Barbara Streisand actually donates virtually nothing to candidates she supports, but her putting on a show for their benefit, even singing only one song, is worth much more than she’d have donated. It’s just the way it works. The benefits of celebrity. (But I don’t think Streisand raises money through a PAC of her own to support those candidates.)
