aka the Palin Way to milk the system...

By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY

Failed Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell turned in the paperwork to launch a political action committee in her name.

O'Donnell, a Tea Party favorite and GOP nominee for Senate in Delaware, officially registered ChristinePAC with the Federal Election Commission, reports Nicole Gaudiano of the Gannett Washington Bureau.

Paul Kilgore, the PAC's treasurer, told the FEC in a Jan. 3 letter that the committee will raise funds in unlimited amounts and make independent expenditures in campaigns.

"This committee will not use those funds to make contributions, whether direct, in-kind or via coordinated communications, to federal candidates or committees," Kilgore's letter said.

O'Donnell was defeated for the Delaware Senate seat by Democrat Chris Coons. She vaulted to national prominence last year when she defeated centrist Republican Mike Castle, a longtime Delaware congressman and former governor, for the GOP nomination with the help of the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin.

O'Donnell's Senate campaign is the subject of a federal investigation. She has denied that she used campaign funds to pay her personal bills, such as rent, and charged that her critics are behind the probe.

From the op:

Paul Kilgore, the PAC's treasurer, told the FEC in a Jan. 3 letter that the committee will raise funds in unlimited amounts and make independent expenditures in campaigns.

"This committee will not use those funds to make contributions, whether direct, in-kind or via coordinated communications, to federal candidates or committees," Kilgore's letter said.

Troubling to me is that those couple of sentences seem to be putting the FEC on notice that Christine-I'm-not-a-witch O'Donnell could very well declare her candidacy for anything and continue to support herself from her PAC ~ Image

Will they pay for a lobotomy for her?  I'd donate.

Pretty hard to lobotomize a brain that doesn't exist.

She files these types of papers much like a jobless person files resumes or employment applications, except she doesn't want to work. She is a career wannabe politician  and scam artist. God forbid she ever get elected to an office. Can you imagine the huge sucking sound she would make as she siphoned/diverted/solicited funds for personal gain? Image
