In reply to the discussion: How do you think Sarah Palin is reacting to the news she's in McCain's regret column? [View all]mercuryblues
(14,531 posts)41. I think they blew through
a ton of that money. Paying off people to not press charges, lawyers, keeping Trail out of jail. Building homes for the kids. All of that does not come cheap.
She shut down her super pac last year. I suspect she was using it as a slush fund to pay her friends and family. She was spending 10x the amount on operations and "consultants" than donations to candidates. IBTimes claims only 4% went towards candidates in the last year it was in operation. She spent 5x more on travel than donations. alone.
When was the last time she was invited to CPAC?
The only press the Palins get now is in the police blotter.

Actually, he might have been a genius choice -- even though Lieberman is terrible

She's busy smacking the bottom of her PAC tip jar, hoping more change drops out.
