Sarah Palin PAC pays for space in Tampa during GOP convention

Hmm, her ego can't allow her not to be a bystander:

I predict some sort of grandiose stunt at the gooper convention - as if that clown circus needed any more hideous sideshows.

He's got to be sick of her by now.
Especially since her hubby Toad, "first dude" and AIP secessionist member says that Newt is his guy.
Come on Mittens...swat this fly once and for all.

It would be quite a walk in August, although a fairly quick cab ride. Lots of vacancy in Channelside, she probably went for cheaper rent vs a closer location.

Sarah Palin’s political action committee raised $388,000 in the first three months of the year, but it spent $418,000 and didn’t give a dime to any candidates — which is the purported purpose of the PAC.
