The Associated Press reports:

A report filed with the Federal Elections Commission Sunday shows Sarah Palin’s political action committee contributed at least $87,500 to candidates she’s endorsed in the last few months….

Republican candidates receiving money from Palin for the period covering April 1 to June 30 include former Gov. Terry Branstad in the recent Republican gubernatorial primary in Iowa, and Joe Miller, who’s challenging Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the August Republican primary. Each received $5,000….

Palin entered the reporting period with over $916,000 on hand. She received more than $865,800 in contributions, and ended the period with over $1 million on hand, according to the filings.

In this quarter, around ten percent of the amount that her PAC took in through contributions went to candidates. Ten percent is an extremely high percentage when compared to her peers. Also, she hasn’t done much personal fundraising at all.

Her PAC has already raised more money than Hillary Clinton’s PAC did during the analogous period of 2005-2006. Governor Palin is also on pace to raise as much, if not more, than the amount raised by the community organizer’s extremely shady PAC between 2005-2006.
