WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sarah Palin has launched a new political action committee called SarahPac, signaling that the Alaska Governor intends to remain a player in national politics even after her failed bid to become the country’s first female vice president.

"SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin's ideas and goals for our country," says the PAC’s Web site, which promises that Palin will be "a strong voice for energy independence and reform."

The PAC does not yet appear to be registered with the Federal Election Commission, according to an online search of the FEC database. But a spokesperson for the committee confirmed that Palin is behind the group and said it was registered on Monday evening. The Web site went live on Tuesday morning and is already soliciting donations.

"The PAC is a smart thing to do because she’s getting so many speaking requests still, so if she gets a request from, say, Bob McDonnell in Virginia, she could do that travel out of her PAC money,” explained the spokesperson, noting that Palin has been in high demand from Republicans around the country since the campaign ended. In December, the governor traveled to Georgia to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Saxby Chambliss in that state's runoff election.

Palin posted a note on her official Facebook page Tuesday afternoon promoting her new committee.

"Hi Friends, I wanted you all to be among the first to know that I've launched my new political action committee, SarahPAC, today," the post says, telling supporters to "stay tuned for updates."

The domain name "SarahPac.com" was registered on January 2 to Campaign Solutions, a Web consulting firm in northern Virginia with longstanding ties to John McCain, which processed online donations for the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee in 2008. The URL is set to expire in 2012, according to online records.

Rebecca Donatelli, the chairman of Campaign Solutions, confirmed her company is working for the group.

Calls to a Palin adviser in Alaska were not immediately returned.

Something about praying for our troops as they fight a holy war for an oil pipeline that god wants?

The good news is that people here who keep saying "she's not in the news, why bring her up?" can STFU. She interjects herself into the news cycle every 7-10 days, in case you haven't noticed.

LOL didnt know i was that well known on the board

I dont think she will be a major player in 2012 even though she seems to be setting it up, however if 240 you believe a dumbass like kennedy with no experience could be a potential VP pick then its not to far fetched that palin could be a potential potus or vp pick in 2012.

If Obama continues his liberal dictatorship along with Pelosi, Sarah will be a shoe in.

Even I am surprised how to the left Zero is going so fast. He is going to turn a lot of people off real quickly with his edicts and nonsense.

He's getting all the liberal dirty work done now. Then he'll return to be a moderate in 2010 for mid-term elections.

Then he'll play lib in 2011. Then, in late 2011, he'll go centrist to keep the voters in 2012, where history shows he'll probably win.

I really cant believe how arrogant this clown is.

How can a person claim to be for more jobs, to want to help the auto industry, and then mandate a fuel standard that will hurt the american car companies?

All presidents do this. Politicians at all levels get their dirty work done early then suck up to the swing voters when it's time to vote. When it's time to vote for president in 1300+ days, nobody will remember what he did this week.
