AP: Palin gave Republican candidates $87,500 in past 3 months
JUNEAU, ALASKA -- A report filed with the Federal Election Commission on Sunday shows that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's political action committee contributed at least $87,500 to candidates she has endorsed in the past few months.

But the financial disclosure filed by SarahPAC also shows the Republican spending more than $210,000 on consulting.

Republican candidates receiving money from Palin for the period covering April 1 to June 30 include Terry Branstad, who is running for governor of Iowa, and Joe Miller, who is challenging Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) in the August Republican primary. Each received $5,000.

Among Palin's other high-profile endorsements: Republican Carly Fiorina, who is running for the Senate from California, received $2,500. But Nikki Haley, who is running for governor of South Carolina and for whom Palin made a campaign appearance, received no money, according to the filings.

1. No matter how much she spends on consultants - it won't
be enough to erase the stupid in her. Wonder how all the people contributing to her like the idea that the majority of money is wasted.

2. Well...
I recall sometime back a post that said her daughter was starting a "consulting" group, and if I know Palin here "consulting" fees for the most part are going right back into the "family" bank accounts! She may be an idiot when it comes to politics, and things in general, but somebody in that family knows how to run a "CON" job on the morons that think she is the second coming, and who fork out money hand over fist for her books and to see here stand in front of a crowd and make no sense whatsoever! Yes, the Palins are getting filthy rich off the idiots on the right, and they are using all kinds of tactics to get the "donations" they get back into their own bank accounts, and it's working!

3. You're right and they probably are paying consultants
to teach them how to do that, too. I wish she and her dysfuntional family would disappear.

4. A whopping 10% of what she took in.
Guess she really believes in tithing.
