Problem is, as governor of Alaska, she is barred from taking any money for something like that. I think that’s why she was open to running for Stevens’ seat, if available, but it doesn’t look like that could happen now.
Now...I’m wondering if any money such as that could go into a PAC or not and not be violative of Alaskan law?
She was never open to running for Steven's seat. She said so on TV last week that she would never do that. She was elected Governor and she would not appoint herself or a member of her family(I believe she was referring to Todd)to the senate seat if Stevens won the election but was tossed out, she would finish her term and run for the next term(for Governor). She never had any intention of taking that seat and doesn't want it. Which speaks well of her.
Obama was collecting money from speaking engagements while a Senator...which he is not supposed to do...but he did...and no one seemed to notice...another of those...Obama thangs.
