(Update) Palin PAC brings in another $200,000 since resignation
Source: Kansas City Star

In addition to the more than $700,000 Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee raised during the first half of the year, an additional $200,000 came in since her July 3 announcement she's stepping down.

According to Federal Election commission reports filed Monday, the former Republican vice presidential candidate brought in $732,867 in donations through June 30.

Another $200,000 came in after the deadline - all of it in the days following Palin's July 3 announcement she's stepping down as Alaska governor, said Meghan Stapleton, a spokeswoman for her campaign.

It's "above par," said Steve Gordon, a Washington-based Republican fundraising veteran who works mostly on Senate campaigns.

Palin is the 'Victim' of the Vast Left Wing Liberal Progressive MSM Conspiracy. She needs help.

2. If she is "out of politics" shouldn't her PAC be shut-down?

10. If she's elected President, how early will she quit that job?
I mean, after all, after the first year, she's done about all she can do as President, so what's the point of running again, and that makes her a lame duck and we all know how crappy that is. Plus she can serve America better without a title.

17. Good -- that's money that didn't go to a GOPer still in elected office.
And judging by the PAC's track record, little of it ever will.
