Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s political action committee claimed today that the recorded phone calls that were received by voters in Iowa and New Hampshire recently were paid for by someone else:

Recently, there have been some pollsters or pitchmen trading on the Sarah Palin name – taking a pulse on the Governor’s favorability. None of these polls are authorized by SarahPAC or the Governor. Again, SarahPAC is not doing any telephone solicitation at this time.

As I wrote Monday, there are a lot of other people who would benefit just as much from the poll’s data as Palin would.
