SarahPAC raises $2.1 million in 2009

Palin’s money came predominantly in small donations through the PAC’s website and a handful of fundraisers. No direct mail solicitations were made.

More than 14,000 people have contributed to the PAC, making 22,000 total donations.

Palin’s total stacks up well – but did not beat – her 2012 rivals.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney raised $2.9 million last year and entered the year with $1.1 million on hand. And Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty raised $1.3 million since launching just three months ago.
