What does she do with her money she gets from her "job"? And "The Family" permanent checks? Shouldn't she be able to afford to do these things, or not do them?

No. If we can't afford it we can't do it. NO Welfare for Barbie! But it also allows Palin to more easily differentiate between her political activity and her gubernatorial duties, Pryor said.

Excerpt:
“Alaska governor Sarah Palin opened a political action committee yesterday, a move that may not outright confirm her intentions of running for US president in 2012 but indicates she intends to remain a regular on the national political stage.

SarahPac, which will raise money online at sarahpac.com, was registered on Monday night with the US Federal Election Commission. The website went live yesterday, said Pam Pryor, who worked as a liaison between the McCain-Palin presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee.

Now Pryor is serving as a volunteer spokeswoman for the new political action committee.

The goal of the committee, according to its website, is to “make it possible for Governor Palin to continue to be a strong voice for energy independence and reform. … SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Governor Palin’s ideas and goals for our country.”

But it also allows Palin to more easily differentiate between her political activity and her gubernatorial duties, Pryor said. She can use the money raised by the political committee to donate to other like-minded candidates or to incur travel expenses on behalf of them. She also can use it to pay for her own political activities unrelated to her official job.”

Leave aside the primary Jolly Green Giant photo of SP styled up in her RNC jacket, and look at the odd assortment of miscellaneous visuals: -- Not a word about Alaska in the text, but backdrop of a pristine mountain range (forgive lower-48 ignorance, I don't know which one) straight out of the Sierra Club. Is that a potential drilling site? Is there some subliminal message in the "twin peaks" on the right? --The logo featuring the State of Alaska plopped onto the continental US is odd. My first thought is where's Hawaii (maybe they don't get to be on the logo because they're too Obama-y)? Second, it feels like a dominance thing: look how big my state is, we can take out your daylight from Nevada to Louisiana. Third, since the color chosen for Alaska is the same as the sky, it looks like negative space, as if that's an Alaska-shaped hole punched into the map. In any case the overlay of Alaska looks out of place, aggressive at best, "I'm pushing thru the door for 2012." --What's with the clumsy blurred photoshopping of the olive background? Is the color a nod to the troops like her silver bracelet? Surely it's unintentional, but Sarah Palin photoshopped below the waist reminds this observer of the numerous pregnancy controversy(ies). --and is the email/signup area just cut-and-pasted from the Obama campaign site? They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Textually, not a word about record or experience -- mere cult of personality. The FAQ ("who is SarahPAC" for example) answers are so vague as to seem deliberately avoidant. Stopping now, there is more to do today than snark about SP!

I just don't see her taking on Obama again, especially if he has a successful term. She'll probably run for Gov or even the Senate- hang out in DC for a while, then make her move. I'm just praying all this SarahsixPac stuff is for naught and when we vote her out in 2010 she'll just go away. I don't see her coming back in 2012 at that point because she'll be 2 years out of sight, out of mind at that point. I’m not sure she’s looking to run for Pres in 2012, but rather 2016.
