Political Action Committee or PAC are not used for a Presidential run, however they are used to gauge grassroots support and fundraising abilities as well as organization skills for a potential Presidential run.
Sarah Palin small donor total from her PAC is amazing and outstanding. For the 2009-2010 cycle SarahPAC raised a total of around 3.8M among small donors. In comparison, in the 2005-2006 cycle Obamas HopeFund PAC raised a total of around 1.5M among small donors, tops among potential candidates at that time.
McCains StraightTalkAmerica was second with around 1.4M among small donors. No one else was even close. Romney had a total of 30k, Clinton 14k, and Rudy 9k.
In 2010 alone Palin raised around 2.4M among small donors. Again in comparison Obama raised 1.1M among small donors in 2006. So, by any measure her success among small donors is really unprecedented. It far surpasses any previous effort. Record-breaking for sure, We all recall how the media went crazy over Obamas small donors.
Having possibly 40k-50k or better in number of small donors is a very strong base to start out with considering she began with absolutely nothing. When you add in the 200k+ email list they said they had listed in Junes numbers that were release (it's likely to be well above 300k by now), the close to 3M on facebook, and the twitter followers, she is in a very, very good position, Better than Obama and Hillary minus the big top dog donors
By the way, Palin has not had a single fundraiser for her PAC involving Top dollar donors, she appears to shun big dollars, nor does she have multiple PAC's like Mitt Romney
Consider this: Romney already had a PAC in both the 06 and 08 election cycles and had a whole network from his campaign in 08. Obama in 06 had already had a PAC up and running in 2004. Hillary in 2006 had already ran a PAC in 2000-2004.
For starting from scratch Palin broke records among small donors. Smashing them. She saw her strongest returns in the summer and fall of 2010 when they have traditionally been slow periods for PACs (ie see TEA Party)
Conclusion: Sarah Palin has an unprecedent level of support from the grassroots (average person) unmatched by anybody in recent memory. It is yet undetermined what will happen once she announces officially to run for President but by these numbers in her PAC, we may witness one of the biggest if not the biggest groundswell of Conservative grassroots movements in support of Sarah Palin. Despite what polls numbers say, she is in a very strong position over many potential candidates and even better than Obama & Hillary in comparison numbers wise - No wonder the Establishment GOP and Liberals are very afraid, Palin wields great power
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
Sarah represents the common American conservative—just like Ronald Reagan did.

Now Sarah, just don’t be stupid like McCain and only take federal matching funds. (I suspect she already knows that)
How about a link
>> “In 2010 alone Palin raised around 2.4M among small donors.” <<

And that during the worst economic times in 60 years!

Yea, being the big Heart of America Palin fan that you are, I’m sure that you want to donate...
No, being that DeMint raised substantially more money, I’d like to check the actual figures.
She will run and she will win. I get the feeling there is a lot of support from people like Pence,Rudy and Jim Demint for Sarah but won’t announce their feelings until Iowa.
And Obama’s foreign donor’s have dried up....based upon his foreign policy the last 2 Years and ongoing.......money talks BS is gonna walk
DeMint has a campaign fund that has donations from influence buyers.
His campaign fund is not his PAC.
Bravo for all her accomplishments. God is good :-)
Here you go...
She takes cash, credit cards, and checks, which can be made payable to SarahPAC.
