Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee raised $865,815 in the second quarter.

The PAC also doled out some $87,500 to Republican candidates over that same period, according to a report filed Sunday with the Federal Election Commission.

SarahPAC ended the quarter with more than $1 million in cash on hand.

The activity is sure to increase speculation that Palin could run for the Republican nomination for president in 2012. While the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate remains a divisive political figure, she also has repeatedly shown an ability to draw crowds and media attention while firing up the Republican base.

1. Sigh....

2. Palin's slush fund paid more for postage than contributions to candidates

3. Why does she need postage?

Doesn't she twit all her policy white papers? :)

5. Yes, she IS a twit... and she "tweets" her positions on Twitter, which was

named especially for the number one twit in the world, Half Governor Sarah P.

Twitter was designed precisely for twits like Sarah.

4. Obscene! I also think that the PAC should be illegal since..

illegal, since it does NOT have a clearly defined purpose under federal election laws.

Anybody else agree?

7. yeah, but you've seen what happens when a few brave souls try to

reel in campaign finance laws...

After all this shit, she probably isn't even going to run (or will be a very early dropout in the primaries)...And why should she as long as the suckers are scratching out checks?

NO job in the world could be better than what Palin's got right now: A growing mountain of cash, influence in the party, a trainwreck-loving media that dotes on her every move, and high popularity with the base...

6. In contrast, Haley Barbour got and spent somewhere around $60K

Yes, less than 8% of what Sarah took in!

8. Raised $900K and gave away $87,000.

Sounds about right for her.
