$733K For Palin's PAC
AK Gov. Sarah Palin's (R) PAC raised $733K during the first half of '09, according to reports filed with the FEC today and the Washington Post, which first reported the story.
So despite the critical press coverage after the '08 cycle, Palin was able to raise money. But that was before announcing her exit from the state's top job. It will be interesting to see how she manages in the final six months of the year.
It was *because* of the critical press coverage after the '08 cycle that she raised so much money. And leaving the statehouse to make red-meat speeches in the lower 48 will only increase her fundraising prowess. And you call yourselves politicos ;-)
