CudaPAC

Word is that the 'Cuda herself is starting a political action committee:

"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."

The PAC does not yet appear to be registered with the Federal Election Commission, according to an online search of the FEC database. But a spokesperson for the committee confirmed that Palin is behind the group and said it was registered 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, who noted that Palin has been in high demand from Republicans around the country since the campaign ended.

For those of us wondering how Palin would stay in the limelight while being up in Alaska, this appears to be the answer.  It's definitely a better option for her than joining the Maverick in his Country First PAC

2 TeamSarah will probably be more partisan, if that makes sense, while allowing Palin to remain "above the fray."

It's definitely a better option for her than joining the Maverick in his Country First PAC.

Having a full frontal lobotomy is a better option for her than hooking back up with Maverick.  Maverick tried to buy conservative cred for the election and failed miserably as he, of course, couldn't follow through.  Palin meanwhile, used the opportunity to establish her credentials and vault herself into the national spotlight.

She's the type who could easily become the leader of a real conservative grassroots movement.  It will be interesting to see how she uses the PAC.  I hope she goes for a widescale bottom-up approach rather than just use it as a vehicle for her further ambitions.
