SarahPAC Steps Up Its Game

Former Governor Sarah Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC is gearing up for the big time. The PAC has officially met FEC regulations for being a multi-candidate committee, which increases SarahPAC's maximum per-candidate contribution, and opens up the PAC to campaign on as many platforms as they desire. POLITICO reports that SarahPAC is currently leading in contributions to other candidates, although Mitt Romney's, Free and Strong America PAC, has raised more money by over a million dollars. And Mike Huckabee is trailing in a distant third both in contributions and fund raising. It's still too early to tell what will happen, but this is a gear-up move for Palin, and a common tactic used by presidential candidates in order to facilitate travel and campaign engagements, or to develop "chits." Palin is also testing her mettle with the big boy's club in Hong Kong, and will be addressing Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia (CLSA), a global brokerage firm, an organization that has also hosted Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan.
