Politics Daily's Sandra Fish reported today that Sarah Palin targeted 20 Democrat House members who voted against the health insurance reform bill for fundraising on her Facebook page.
None of the GOP candidates running in those targeted races have received any money from her PAC. In fact, she's given very little of the money she has raised to any candidate.
More info and link to the article appear below the fold.
"Although her SarahPAC took in $400,000 in the first quarter and had more than $900,000 in the bank, it gave only $7,500 to candidates between January and the end of March, plus an additional $2,000 to two other PACs. None went to Republicans in the races she targeted."
Sarah Palin's House Hit List: No Money to Favored Candidates So Far
Normally this wouldn't be high enough on my list to write about but this caught my eye:
"Even photographer Shaelah Craighead (Laura Bush's White House photographer) took in more money than Sarah PAC gave to candidates, earning $11,596 for photography.
Meanwhile, some of the targeted candidates benefited from Palin's ire.
First-term Rep. Betsy Markey (D-Colo.) earned a bull's-eye after she switched from a "no" to a "yes" vote on health care reform. She also ranked among ActBlue's top 10 fundraisers for March. Markey's campaign spokeswoman told The Coloradoan in Fort Collins that more than $355,000 of the $505,000 Markey raised came during the final two weeks of the first quarter:
'We got calls from people furiously mad at what Palin put on her Facebook page,' Markey spokeswoman Anne Caprara told the Coloradoan. 'Frankly, she can send out solicitations any time she wants.'"
