Sarah Palin’s PAC, SaraPAC, has an explanation for the irregularities that the Federal Election Commission spotted in their half-year filing: “We fouled up there.”

SarahPAC was found to have made donations of $5,000 to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Palin’s former running mate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). However, they had not yet qualified as a multi-candidate PAC, and thus were only allowed to write checks of $2,400.

“I think you can say it was sloppiness on my part and my attorney’s part,” SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford told the Anchorage Daily News. “We fouled up there. But it’s been fixed.”
