Since she abruptly ended her reign over Alaska nearly one year ago, all of the country has wondered some with trepidation what her long-term plans really are. Would she simply build her brand and make a ton of money? Or would she run for president, setting off a whole new round of “I’ll move to Canada” threats? It’s still too early to tell and perhaps Palin herself doesn’t know yet but a couple of recent signs have pointed to the latter. Last week, Palin’s SarahPAC released an ad that, behind its talk of pit bulls and grizzly bears and elephants, looked a lot like something created for a candidate for office. And now Palin’s fund-raising efforts are getting more serious. Reports Politico:
The report, filed with the Federal Election Commission, shows that Palin’s political action committee raised more money in the second quarter of this year — $866,000 — than it had in any previous three-month stretch since Palin formed the group in January 2009.
Let’s put it this way: You don’t need “foreign and domestic policy consulting” just to host a reality show about life in Alaska.
