Chris Cillizza at The Fix is reporting that Mitt Romney’s ‘Free and Strong America‘ PAC has nearly doubled what Sarah Palin’s ‘Sarah PAC’ has generated in the first 6 months of the year.
Here’s the scoop from Chris Cillizza:
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads the way in terms of fundraising by potential 2012 Republican candidates. Romney showed nearly $1.4 million raised through his Free and Strong America PAC at the end of May.
Palin’s showing is, however, a sign that she can raise cash at the national level and that she will be a player in the 2010 midterm elections if she, as expected, chooses to involve herself in downballot races.
It is all the more impressive given the chaos that surrounded her operation — and herself — over the first half of 2009. If Palin can spend her time out of office organizing a serious national effort, these numbers suggest the financial support is out there to help her.
This is just the very beginning of Gov Palin’s run for 2012. As someone said before “you ain’t seen nothin yet”!
