WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sarah Palin has launched a new political action committee called SarahPac, signaling that the Alaska Governor intends to remain a player in national politics even after her failed bid to become the country’s first female vice president.
"SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin's ideas and goals for our country," says the PAC’s Web site, which promises that Palin will be "a strong voice for energy independence and reform."
A spokesperson for SarahPac confirmed that Palin is behind the group and said it was registered with the Federal Election Commission on Monday evening. The Web site went live on Tuesday morning and is already soliciting donations.
"The PAC is a smart thing to do because she’s getting so many speaking requests still, so if she gets a request from, say, Bob McDonnell in Virginia, she could do that travel out of her PAC money,” explained the spokesperson, noting that Palin has been in high demand from Republicans around the country since the campaign ended. In December, the governor traveled to Georgia to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Saxby Chambliss in that state's runoff election.
Palin posted a note on her Facebook page Tuesday afternoon promoting her new committee.
"Hi Friends, I wanted you all to be among the first to know that I've launched my new political action committee, SarahPAC, today," the post says, telling supporters to "stay tuned for updates."
The domain name "SarahPac.com" was registered on January 2 to Campaign Solutions, a Web consulting firm in northern Virginia with longstanding ties to John McCain, which processed online donations for the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee in 2008. The URL is set to expire in 2012, according to online records.
Rebecca Donatelli, the chairman of Campaign Solutions, confirmed her company is working for the group.
Calls to a Palin adviser in Alaska were not immediately returned.
UPDATE: According to a copy the FEC filing, SarahPac's statement of organization was filed by Virginia political consultant Timothy Crawford, who is listed on the paperwork as the group's treasurer. Reached by phone, Crawford told CNN he plans to sit down in the coming weeks with Palin to discuss her plans for the committee.

Keep it coming Sarah! I'll contribute. Anything to put you in the 2012 race. Makes it easier for Obama to be re-elected.
why is this news?
I almost pity this woman in her determination to become the most visible irrelevancy since Dan Quayle. Bless her li'l heart!
The loser looks great standing in her GOP sponsored outfit.
Oh, goody!
Sarah Pac....LOLOLOLOL
The pundits will have a field day with this.
She'll do anything to keep her name in the news. She and Governor Blajovich from Illinois should band together and form their own talk show. LOL
And on the 8th day, God said "Let there be funny..."
Jeb/Sarah 2012! A vote to end the Obama depression!!
please go away.!!!!!!
Good...let the GOP self-destruct with her at the helm
And if they can't kill the GOP by be obstructionist, ther's always 2012...
Oh man, I hope that she wins the GOP nomination in 2012, lol.
I may not believe in God... but the only thing that seems appropriate in response is "May God have mercy on us all."
I hope she runs in 2012 after a (hopefully) successful first term of Obama, so that hopefully we can be rid of her for good. I can't believe how many people voted for her to be the Vice President of our country... her stupidity even extends beyond that of the infamous W.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
OH PLEASE CNN, please stop reporting this on the Ticker...it rightly should go under Entertainment!
SarahPAC??? The woman seriously needs to get over herself. WE DON'T CARE!
I didn't think she actually had "ideas", I thought her sole purpose was to spread hate and ignorance.
Someone please kill me, wasnt the election over like 2 months ago?
I despise her smug face.
How did she ever get elected to office.... nevermind.
Palin/Blago 2012........
Just read another cnn.com article about how some view the year 2012 as being "apocolyptic" (citing supposed Mayan predictions). If Sarah Palin is center stage for the Republicans in 2012, it will indeed be apocolyptic for them.
Liberal "tolerant" hate to start...
Who is this person again?
You go Sarah, lets get ready for 2012!
Oh good grief, I have a horrible feeling this pathetic, birdbrained woman will be in my state soon.
SarahPAC? Really? Of course this narcissist would have *her* name as the name of the committee. Quel surprise!
PLEASE go away. You are not relevant.
Watch scared dems pile on now with hateful comments.
No more McCain (under cover democrat) business. We need real Conservative Republican like Ron Paul to lead the way
One word: delusional.
This is nothing but a politcal stunt. Forming a political action committee doesn't negate the fact that she doesn't know anything and is dumb as a sack of rocks. If anything, it's more of a learn as you go committee.
Oh god help us!
The only PAC this piece of rightwing trailer-trash should start is the FudgePAC. Because that is exactly what will happen to all those neo-dimwits that will waste their money on making donations to it. I'm LMAO at all you rightwingers who will waste your money on this. I celebrate your loss!!!!
Oops! Thanks alot John McCain, now she's never going to go away.
I want to cry...Please just go away! I'm tired of all these old white dudes talking about how hot you are and how all they want to do is sleep with ya, that's how you're getting their votes...It's sad, really sad. Just go home, PLEASE?!
When will this crazy lady go away once and for all! Does she not realize that her hillbilly voice annoys more people!
Sarah, time for you to be a Mom and Grandmother and stay up there in the cold...cold needs to stay with cold!
SarahPac, where stupidity and ignorance is embraced and encouraged.
Unbelievable. Can we please get rid of this woman. She took down the Republican party with her nomination. Please go away.
This is what REAL change looks like! The more the media and the left-wing wackos express their disdain and hatred of this woman, the more I'm convinced she should be our next president. GO SARAH!!!
Yes! Go Sarah! I love her!!! She'll help keep the Republicans out of serious contention for control for DECADES. I'm SO glad she's so determined to push herself on America and the Republicans are so eager to put her forward. It's great for Democrat rule.
Guess being Governor of Alaska isn't too demanding of a job.
The female version of Limbaugh – Ha ha ha ha ha
Good jokes are always welcome.
OY as they say in French – and GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY in English!
That is scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, I voted for McCain, and even I don't know what "She" stands for.
who cares
Ugh – She's like a bad penny that just keeps coming back. I hope the GOP nominates her, then we will have 4 more years of non-GOP rule because there just aren't enough stupid people to vote for the likes of this loser.
Hey Sarah – Why don't you tend to your family? From the looks of things, you screwed them up pretty badly with all that talk about Jesus and demons. How do you expect to run a country if you can't even raise your own kids properly?
SICK!!
Good for you Sarah.
The Dumb organizing the dumber for thesake of telling everyone how dumb thay are... but in our country you are entitled to make a butt of yourself as much as you want...even to the point of buying airtime so everyone can see how you are incapable of answering a hard question like "What do you read?"
pls palin go away ur 15minz of fame is over.go back to alaska and read books,know supreme court judgement,know the bush's policy u can do alot better by reading and improving ur self instead of trying to stay on the lime light
Love her. Hope she comes back.
Have we not suffered enough?
Will some one PLEASE take this moose to the North Slope and leave her there?
Thank you!
This woman would pose as the centerfold for Playboy if it got her
attention. I have never seen another pe rson, male or female with the need to be in the spotlight this woman has.
She is dangerous
GO AWAY!
Really? Can I donate to the CNN Political Ticker to keep Sarah Palin articles off of it?
heres to all the comments to follow. dont waste your time telling her to go away. she wont. shes like a bad penny. thanks to mcshame she will never go quietly up to the great white north of alaska. thank god we have obama to show us into the light.
I guess she never heard about Andy Warhols' "15 minutes of fame." She's gone way over her allotted time...
what a waste of time and money.
she's all about her
Oh no not again. Please go away moose lady....
Wow. This woman is incredible. Mother to five children, grandmother to one. Loving, supportive wife. Governor of state facing meltdown due to low oil prices. Traveling thousands of thousands of miles supporting poticial friends. One wonders how one person can do any/all of it well. Oh, there's the rub. Never mind.
This woman needs lots of homework to do before any further political actions.
First, reading national newspapers.
Second, parenting her teenaged daughter mom.
Third, banning any corruption related to her folks.
Fourth, facing media in a professional manner. (Instead of winking)
Fifth, .... should I go on and forth?
No Sarahpac. People first.
Peter and Abbi go find a job.If this is the only BS you can cover I suggest you go and join AILIN PALIN and maybe we won't hear from any of you again.Don't you read the articles on palin.Noone wants to know anything about this nitwit.Maybe you are already on her payroll.GO TO ALASKA with her and don't forget to bring your skates.As for CNN where the hell do you find these reporters?What a shame.
Sarah, baby...
Buh Buh now.
Glad you had a great time, yawn...wow I'm bushed....
Yep, gotta get up for work tomorrow...
whispered...well what else do you want me to do, she isn't leaving...
GO....AWAY.
I wish this woman would just go away. On the other hand I hope she is the Republican nominee in 2012, Obama will be a shoe in!
It seems like the Democrats and Republicans are wasting no time in preparing for 2010 and 2012.
say it ain't so............sarah
can you see all the states from your back door?
Are you going to have Joe the plumber be on your site?
Well......maybe not ,since he didn't like some of the things McCain did,and you are using the same company as a consulting firm that he used..............
oh well......................how are all the baby (12 day old) wolf pups doing?
Did you get'm all yet? Don't forget the turkeys and moose.....what a busy time up north.
God save us from Bush part two. Oh wait, he already has. Thank you God.
HA HA HA!!! Please Sarah, Please Sarah, run and get the Republican Nomination in 2012. That will clinch another 4 years for Obama.
Signed up...! I mean, why not? Can't hurt to see what this is all about.
Sarah its over. I was a supporter of you and John McCain but your time has come and gone. You may be a good Governor but you don't have what it takes to be a national player. We will need new blood and ideas to beat Obama and the Democrats in 2012.
this women is a joke! and any rep. who follows her ,get ready for defeat. please tell me that the rep.have someone who's smart enough to know that this chick does not have brains enough to run your party ,only looks and a big empty mouth! that she keers putting her feet in ,she is the reason i turned from an independent to a demo.
Fine! There will be those, who like her, don't read newspapers or much else and then call those who do "elitist" She is her own worse enemy. There is a thin base of people whose ideas and ideologies are thinner!
So be it!
Has she gotten any calls from any universities or colleges who want to enroll her for some higher learning, so she may become more knowledgeable and intelligent and at least gain some intellectual curiosity before she decides to run for the highest offices in government?
I guarantee you that this woman will never be president. It goes against everything America spoke to on November 4th. She and her supporters are just too stupid to realize she was part of the cause for the immense turnout.
here's an idea for ol' sarah palin – why don't you put country first, and volunteer to house the terrorists in some remote fringe facility in alaska?
it would be a win-win situation: the terrorists we need to keep our eyes on will be housed; palin gets a atta-girl for helping our country (and probably some federal money to build a facility), and she could use it as a nail the platform of her next run for office.
lord, why?
It is OVER Sarah...............go away!
Great Sara is doing this, it will ensure us the continuation of not having the Republicans control the country.
There are too many people out there that are just too smart to elect a woman like Sarah, who has a very low level of any sort of intelligence. It is so low, it wouldn't even read on any type of 'meter', if there was one.
I bet Alaskans are just thrilled that she is governing so well. Gee thanks John McCain – she could still be an obscure, ill spoken, ill informed governor of 600,000 people but no, you had to pick her.
Please Sarah leave us alone! Not everyone in America follows the WASP mentality and wants those ideals imposed upon us all. Palin and other super conservatives really wish for America to become a fascist theocracy. Get over it Neocons...Obama won and now has a lot of crap to fix after Bush and criminal Cheney left our country a mess. Seriously who thinks Palin has the intellect to be involved in anything?
Please, Sarah. Run!!
We miss you already. SNL is just not the same without you.
If the RepubliSCUMS are thinking they are going to be brought out of the political wilderness by this witch, then it looks as though DC will be a DemoCRAPic stronghold for decades!!!
If she is the best the GOP can come up with in 2012, they are in BIG trouble!
If you keep giving her press time she won't go away.
It's irrelevant to current issues (and there are many critical items right now) and a waste of everyone's time.
Let this die out like a fire without any fuel.
Maybe they should just name it for what it really is the "dumbPac"
Governor Palin would do well to consider that the majority of Americans do not share her ideas and goals for the country, as evidenced by her sound thrashing last November. Stay home, Sarah, and stay out of our lives.
Please go crawl back under your rock.
She is truly out of her mind. With as much nonsense as they made of her presidential campaign, you would think the point would have hit her in the face, but apparently taking care of new grandchild and teaching her daughter how to be a new mom are not worthy enough causes for her at this point it time.
she's a moron
PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!!!
By all means, republicans. Keep Sarah in the front of GOP minds. I'm sure the second time around will be just as entertaining. And successful.
If you love your country as much as you say you do...you'd go away for a loooong while. Do us all the favor. I know it's a little hard for her self-important, narrow mind to comprehend, but she's become nothing more than media fodder. Sorry Sarah, we chose intellect over ineptitude. Deal with it.
She needs to get an education 1st- then think about running or doing anything, she needs to take care of her family.
Who cares?
Guess she liked them fancy clothes. Figures why not take more trips to Nieman Marus. I used to think she was kind of cute, she is actually kind of scary looking now that I know how she thinks, if you can call it that.
Oh you Republicans are a savvy bunch.. Sarah is really going to carry you all a long way....DOWN....
If some odd group wants her to speak, do they have to buy her and her family "PUBLIC APPEARANCE CLOTHING AN JEWELRY"?
Woteva!
I think I just talked her up.
This is actually good. This way, we can get a number on who many folk feed into this backwards way of thinking. I can only imagine the type of folk who will sign up. Problem is, most of her followers probably can't find the internet, let alone use it. She'd be better of advertising on the back of cases of Budweiser.
You gotta be kidding me..."she’s getting so many speaking requests still"?? What for stand up comedy routines?? Please, Louise! I am a female registered republican (moderate) and was so appalled by her lack of education and ability to communicate in complete sentences that I voted Obama.
Please go away you ignorant never was and never will be.
Sarah Palin stands for everything which lost the GOP the election ....
What is it about politics? Once these people get a taste of the limelight they can't seem to turn off the lights. They are all the same.
So, one of the negatives against Obama was that he spent his Senate time campaigning. So, if the governor is out all the time speaking, when is she actually "working". If she's already starting to campaign for either a 2010 congressional run or 2012 presidential run, when is she going to govern her state?
I still say she needs a lot more foreign policy knowledge.
Why won't she go away?!?!?! She is like a washed up actor.
this women is a joke! and any rep. who follows her ,get ready for defeat. please tell me that the rep.have someone who's smart enough to know that this chick does not have brains enough to run your party ,only looks and a big empty mouth! that she keeps putting her feet in ,she is the reason i turned from an independent to a demo.
she's crazy!!!!!!!!
Kinda like putting bad milk back into the 'fridge to see if it will be better tomorrow. Geez Sara, you had your 15 minutes, let it go.
I can't believe that this woman, completely disconnected from the rest of the world is serious about running for the presidency in 2012. I just can't believe it!! In fact, she doesn't know much about Canada and we are neighbours. Can you believe it?
well, it is a free country isnt it, cant she launch a site....or is just too much for you the bare
This woman's life shoud be Busy enough just dealing with Alaska and her notorious family,,,, however she appears to think she is wise enough to lead our country someday! America, what do you think? I say, no way, no thanks and absolutely No Palin!!
the sooner she flames, the sooner she'll crash- keep pushing Palin
My feelings are mixed. Its always inevitable that the losing vice presidential canidate from the past general election, will be running for president.
But hey, let her run, it will be a landslide for Obama if she wins the nomination.
She is like a bad dream, keeps coming back. I guess she doesn't realize what a "joke" she was during the campaign and how the majority of Americans just wish she would go away for good.
Seriously, she just needs to go away.
She must be a distant cousin of Blago – neither will just go away even though all but the most insane Americans wish they would.
Good GOD almighty, this just goes to prove that Sarah Palin is either in denial or just tone deaf on all levels. The fact that the POLLS clearly indicated that Americans which included Republicans DO NOT deem her competent as a Vice President, President or even as Governor!!!!
How many whoopings do you need for the REALITY to sink in?
I'm not sure whose advising Caribou Barbie, but she better get every penny back because these folks are just getting rich off of her while selling her "up river without a paddle"!!!!
GO AWAY SARAH, AMERICANS WILL NEVER VOTE YOU INTO THE WHITE HOUSE!!
go away sarah go away go away
stay home in alaska
This is a frigging horror movie. Like Halloween XXX, with Sarah replacing Jason. Can't we get rid of this ill-informed bimbo?
Reminds me of a really bad, old horror movie:
"The Creature That Refused To Die........"
Good God not again. Hey Sarah, a word of advice: if you're the primary reason your ticket LOST the presidential bid, maybe you are perhaps, I don't know, unqualified to be president?
Sarah, do the country a favor and just GO AWAY.
Anything to keep herself in the news.
This woman's egomania has no bounds.
Republicans are doomed unless somebody with brain comes along. They are reduced to a bunch of ignorant bigots war lovers with no real energy no brain no theory no diplomacy no vision. All is left is loud mouths and populism.
isn't her 15 min up yet?
This is actually a ggo thing for the republican party. Sarah Palin stands for eveything which lost them the election. By staying in view she reminds the party what they need to ditch do to win in 2016.
your kidding , right?
LOL come on is this for real? "SaraPac" Seriously?
I mean I admired her and all but this woman needs to be take a break (more like give us a break!)
they just don't stop....idiots unite!!! SarahPac should Hire Pacman jones to do PR. Bunch of dummies.
(sigh) And so it begins: Presidential Campaign 2012.
Obama please put her out of our misery quick!
This is a good thing for Sarah. She can speak around the country and get a feel for what the public wants before actually deciding if she will run in 2012.
This is great for the Democrats. The more someone like Palin, who is so out of her league, remains a major player in the Republican party, the better it is for them. I think she will lose badly in the Republican primary in 2012. But if she is somehow able win the nomination, that is the best thing that can happen to Obama and the Dems. Go Palin!
Please donate to SarahPac. I so want her to represent the Republican Party. I'm a progressive and am making a donation. This way "conservatives" can be in a continuing minority and the rest of us can accomplish something, don't ya know.
GO AWAY!!!!!!! NO ONE GIVES A FLYING LEAP!!!!!!!
Sweet! Chum for the liberals.... lets watch angry elitists with little political education bark and foam at the mouth at the mention of Palin's name!
what a scam
Go away.....Please just go away!!
GO AWAY!
She is laying the ground work for 2012 with this one!!! What I don't understand is exactly what is the republican's message? What are their beliefs and how/why are they the best way for America? It seems that republican principles are not inclusive to the make-up of the good ole U.S. of A. I am not being sarcastic with this list, but he is my list of what I percieve to be republican principles: lower taxes, tax breaks for corporations, politically religious =)) minorities don't matter because they have no clout, a big bag of symantic tricks, play the game to win no matter who or what is hurt during the game. The republicans I've listened to always have the best stock of labels to use to describe a situation: liberal media, goddless left, anti-American, marxist, socialist, empty suit, etc.... If you are recruiting please give me something more to work with please.
I honestly have never despised anyone, especially someone I never met, but this girl I absolutely hate. Makes me want to puke!

Why can't this woman just take care of her family and the job she was elected to do? If I had her health I would be able to do so much work for others. But Sarah is all for Sarah, and I am sick of her.
please, she's not smart enough to think of this on her own.
i wonder who is pulling her strings now.
Ick.
We have McCain to thank for unleashing this person on American. Thanks, John John.
Why won't this woman catch the hint. We voted not for McCain because OF HER! The only people she will attract is the racist religious nuts. This woman is an insult to all women.
what is she to dumb to realize politics is trending away from PACs, earmarks etc? Obama took $0 from PACs for his election, and that's going to be the future, not a one time fluke.
Of course I bet she will come out strongly against PACs in 2012 if she runs (just a little bit more strongly against them then her opponent), regardless of her actual feelings. Such is the nature of Republicans... sigh.

I can just hear all of you boo'ers now but that's okay, you keep on booing and she will keep coming back! C'mon Sarah girl, get 'em going!!!!
You mean she can find enough people as ignorant and uninterested/uninteresting and uninformed as she is? Who is her nb 2 guy? Joe the Plumber?
Go away Palin!!!!!

That's awsome. I share a lot of your views Sarah. It's going to be great to hear from you. Traditional conservative values need to stay in play.
NO! NO! Palin please don't come back. Your are out of touch with America and certainly minority communities.
Go away Sarah!
You have got to be kidding – when will this woman STOP!
OH!!!!!!!!! WHAT A JOKE. SARAH TRY TO HELP YOUR COUNTRY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PROMOTE YOUR OWN CAUSES. NFG. GRAB SOME MORE DRUGS FROM LEVI'S CRACK MOTHER AND GO TO BED.
oh my goodness! does she go away, and I think this just puts the lid on everything, YES SHE IS RUNNING IN 2012. I guess we have to see her again. And DONT YOU CURIOUS PEOPLE GO AND LONG ON TO THAT STUPID WEBSITE!
Please, please, please run again Sarah Palin. That will ensure the Democrats stay in power for a very long time.
Hopefully in the interim she is studying up on things like North American geography. She looked so stupid during the campaign by not being able to answer very, very basic questions about NAFTA.
Oh, and Africa is NOT a country!!!
Oh sure, travel using PAC money. I wonder how many people will actually contribute. I must say that she is certainly persistent.
Great! More entertainment from the idiot Governor. SNL will be in business for years to come!
Gov. Palin's ideas about politics is to bad mouth the Democrats and blame the press for all of her mistakes. Come to think about it, she may be a mainstream republican.
I feel certain there will be many hateful people involved with her efforts. "palling around with terrorists type accusers" , etc. Nasty folks out there!
Will she just fade away like the rest of them? No one cares what this podunk lady has to say..she is too stupid!
Not to be rude. I understand what she is trying to do. But to be honest, I don't consider her to be in what i would call a smarter caliber of individual. It is only based upon the things i hear here say. While we all should aspire for greatness, i do think that our minds are made for specific task. Some people have Mcdonald's minds while others have Harvard teaching minds. If Governor Palin ever were to win the president(anything is possible in America) I am buying my family tickets to Bora Bora and see if we can get jobs out there. Plainly put, if I feel like I most likely could answer questions better than the potential president, I don't think that I could vote for them or trust that they see best interest for the country! Oh well that is just me.
Shes like a rash that wont go away.
Sarah you dont have the smarts to be President
Just stay up there in Alaska......you dont fit in down here.
Is she for real?
Way to go Sarah – keep a high profile and be the face of the GOP for years to come. That will ensure it continues to become marginalized and will be solidified as the minority part for decades to come!
Doesn't this woman have work to do in Alaska?
Please stay out of the news and the lower 48!
I hope women don't forget that if this Palin runs in 2012, it will mean a GIANT step backwards for women. And everyone must remember how she caused great divide among Americans, stirred up alot of hatred and racism!
If the Republicans are looking to Sarah Palin then their party truly is lost. Sure she "energized" the base but beyond that there are still not the best choice. You have to get past the glitz and glamour and pretty face because that doesn't translate into good political prowess. And all that "but she as a governor so she's qualified" talk is just bunk. The last president was a former governor too and look how that worked out. Republicans should pick someone educated in law and with a higher political IQ if they want their party taken seriously by the majority of Americans.
good luck in getting a lot of positive feedback! she will soooo not be our next president come 2012.
i think palin needs to dedicate herself in getting a better, well-rounded education!
So...does that mean all her speaking fees go into SarahPac as well? Sounds like a loop-hole to me.
Really - wishing she would just crawl back to her day job. Speaking of which - if she traveling a speaking - who is running Alaska?
Oh great... as if we don't have enough problems. She wants to start a political group that shares her brilliant insights... we ARE doomed.
Please Sarah keep in front of the camera and keep talking giberish!!
You are swinging more and more votes to the Demorats every day.
I can't believe she's still in the news – does she not see what a joke she is?
Who are these morons that are hiring her for speaking engagements?
GO AWAY!!!
This is a woman who won't go quietly into the night....unfortunately for us. Palin, you lost. Get over yourself. We don't care about you anymore. The most lasting image of you from the 2008 election is going to be Tina Fey on SNL or your interviews from Couric and Gibbs; I guarantee if you run in 2012 this is the image people will have of you. Blame McCain's people all you want babe; YOU'RE the one who botched the interviews and made yourself look like a fool. No one else.
When she learns to effectively govern and make sure the needs of Alaskans are met then maybe she would be a viable candidate. For me she is just a clever opportunist, however maybe that is all you need to be a politician.
This news makes me so happy. Here's a person, culturally, historically, politically, and literally illiterate who's vying to be a voice in the GOP. What a symbol to follow!
Good Going Sarah, you found another loophole so you do not have to pay travel expenses for you and your family. You still want others to pay for it. This is just a legal scam on her part, look at how much she charged the State of Alaska to trot her kids to doings that they were not even invited to. Stay Home Sarah and let rest of the country just forget about you.
God Bless Sarah P. She is the best thing to happen to the Democratic party in centuries. I strongly will support her candidacy for the Republic nomination in 2012 and forever. If she wins the nomination, the GOP as it now stands will finally die turn into dust and perhaps rise in the form that its founders wanted. A party that would stay out of peoples personal lives, protect us from criminal activities when it is a national threat (Wall Street strike any bells?) abide by the constitution (without the Bible), balance the budget, protect our shores, and that is about it.
Sarah baby, go for it. Your bible bashers, AK47 carriers, anti-intellectual want you. Go Baby Go!!
If I ever run on a platform that advocates shooting wolves from helicopters, I'll be sure to look to the SarahPac...
Sarah doesn't want to be President so much as she wants to replace Zsa Zsa Gabor as Queen from Outer Space – let's give her THAT tilte and maybe she'll keep quiet for a bit.
"SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin's ideas and goals for our country," says the PAC’s Web site....
Sarah Palin is able to formulate ideas? When did this happen? Although, I suppose choosing between Coach, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana makes for stimulating thought.
I would love to see the debate between this idiot and Obama. Winks aren't gonna work this time around, you'll actually have to ANSWER the questions the moderator asks.
Make this woman go away! Who cares? SarahPac = morons with no life. She is a HAS BEEN. Your 15 minutes are up!
If the Republicans are looking to Sarah Palin then their party truly is lost. Sure she "energized" the base but beyond that she is still not the best choice. You have to get past the glitz , glamour and pretty face because that doesn't translate into good political prowess. And all that "but she was a governor so she's qualified" talk is just bunk. The last president was a former governor too and look how that worked out. Republicans should pick someone educated in law and with a higher political IQ if they want their party taken seriously by the majority of Americans. (reposted for grammatical errors. Sorry)
Why won't this bimbo shut up? I'd like to donate something from my butt to her pac.
I honestly don't think it's going to fly...
I guess time will tell.....
Since I'm a Demodrat, and support Obama's
plan & ideas, it doesn't matter to me how much
money Palin & her supporters raise....Like I said, I don't think it's going to fly.....
Again IRRELEVANT.
At the accelerated pace Obama is leading us into a depression..., Sarah needs to start now to try and help slow the decent, and progressively liberal decenters.
Has anybody developed a cure? Please go away.
Go for it Palin! The democrats would love you to lead the GOP. It would guarantee 8 more years of their control of both houses and the White House. The only way you can see Russia from your house Sarah is climb up on that pile of Polar Bear "stuff" and face West on a very clear day.
Is anyone surprised about this.
Would someone please ask Larry Flynt to throw this bimbo a couple of million to do a centerfold in Hustler magazine? Poor, pathetic, needy, insider-wannabe Sarah is truly the Jennifer Aniston of politics, doing anything to get attention and keep herself in front of her moronic fan base.
PLEASE DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND TEND TO YOUR BUSINESS AS GOV. OF ALASKA AND AS A MOTHER/GRANDMOTHER. THANK YOU.
This lady is a nut. If she doesn't highlight all that is hypocritical and emotionally unstable about Republicans, I don't know who does. I think she got a taste of the limelight and now she wants to be a celebrity. The problem is, she doesn't have what it takes in terms of intelligence to ever get any further than she has. In fact, if McCain hadn't been desperate to throw Obama off course by picking her, she wouldn't have gotten as far as she did. I wish CNN.com would quit running almost daily articles about her. I'm sick of seeing her name.

Palin will be a money maker for awhile since she has the "train wreck" quality that attracts the lookers to see if they will see any blood or gore or if she will say anything any more colossally stupid than she already has. Basically, people come out of curiosity and nothing more....I refuse to believe that this country contains as many non-thinking Republicans that it would take to elect her to any position other than the one she holds now. But who knows, maybe in the interim, she will go over one of her children's civics and geography books in an effort to become a little more knowledgeable than she is currently and come out with more to offer.
Funny. You think if she wanted to get ahead, she would focus on doing her job.
I guess Alaska can survive without a Governor, it's done so since at least August...
Dear Lord help us all.
Is anybody really taking her seriously?
Oh, great. I was hoping this creepy woman would crawl back under the rock she crawled out from under. She is, without a doubt, trailer-trash personified.
Why won't she just disappear?
Let us forget about Sarah Palin and get on with backing our current President in his attempt to dig us (and the world) out of the mess created by the powers (Republican) that have been...
Sarah is honestly a waste of time.
She's going to spend her life "winking" which is so
stupid. She just looks stupid. She needs to be taking
care of her family. She has two daughters coming up
and Mom wasn't there for Bristel so lets get with the
program and be a Mom, some women can handle work
and parenting, she is not one of those women.
Go Sarah Go.....
Ask this woman to get lost. She is so annoying.
Sarah, on behalf of our nation's progressives, thank you from the bottom of our oversized liberal hearts. While you're at it, keep blaming mean old Katie Couric for your own lunacy, schedule a couple interviews with rabid-right radio, and hold another presser or two in front of a puppy-grinder. You are truly the gift that keeps on giving.
When will the white trash skank from Alaska, just go away? Enough already, her babul is old and tired.
Does this woman not realize that she was a flash in the pan, and one whose flame went out very quickly once she got off script? She needs to try and rehabilitate her reputation back in Alaska and stick to state politics. She is not ready for the national stage.
How she thinks: "Me, me, me, me, me, me. Enough about me. What do YOU think... about me.
Ugg... someone tell this idiot to go away. Sick of her and I most definately would NOT donate to ANYTHING with her behind it.
