Sarah Palin's political action comittee doc hints former Alaska Gov. Has her eye on the white House

Everybody knows that Sarah Palin has her eye on the White House, but news that the fiery former VP candidate has quietly amassed a million dollar war chest sparked a fresh round of reports Monday that she is wholeheartedly engineering a 2012 presidential bid.

A disclosure form filed by Palin's political action committee SarahPAC reveals the ex-Alaska governor has raised a serious stash of funds, donating at least $87,500 to fellow Republicans whose candidacies she has endorsed over the last few months.

"We're going to really help a lot of Republican candidates get a chance to win," Tim Crawford, the committee's treasurer, told Politico.com. "And I'm glad we have the resources there for the governor to use."

Palin's contributions are being interpreted as evidence that she is building a network of Republican supporters who will return the favor when she decides to run for President.

"In politics, donations – especially donations made as a vote nears – are favors that can produce return favors, with interest, in years to come," the Christian Science Monitor reports.

And Politico reports that the filing "suggests that she has begun building a more sophisticated political operation. SarahPAC raised $866,000 in the second quarter of this year and boasted more than $1 million at the time of the filing.- NYDAILYNEWS
