Palin Expanding Political Reach With PAC

Sarah Palin keeps fueling rumors that she’s seeking a White House bid come 2012. There’s been speculation since even before the election, but the Alaska governor’s recent media-bashing campaign has many saying she’s intent on hogging the national spotlight. And now Palin’s gone one step farther and founded her own PAC. She’s not stopping there, either, and will be flying to Washington this week to hobnob with powerful conservatives, reports Cindy Adams:
Traveling with one of her ladies-in-waiting and invited by a rich GOPnik, she’ll be at Saturday’s invite-only/political mandarins-only Alfalfa Club dinner in DC … [The club] is so high-powered that sitting U.S. presidents attend, which means Obama would be show …
She’s also launching her national political action committee. Registered in Virginia, patterned after Hillary’s HillPac, Sarahpac.com is to support ideas and candidates who share the Palin vision that energy independence is this country’s future.
Next month she addresses a Washington gathering of prominent conservatives. She’s going ahead with a book. Her Facebook page has 410,000 friends. She wants to influence policy knowing the nation must turn to Alaska as its energy resource. She’s planning to be president.
The PAC’s website claims the Republican party’s "at the threshold of an historic renaissance" and they believe the best days lie ahead. We’re sure they believe those days hinge on potential president Palin.
