Ted Cruz sends out thank-you note for Sarah Palin's PAC

Sarah Palin's super-PAC is out with a letter from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) thanking her for her primary endorsement, a sign that the former vice presidential candidate plans to stay active in political campaigns going forward.

"We started out as underdogs in a long, competitive primary. But despite the odds being stacked against us, Governor Palin and SarahPAC showed daring leadership by endorsing my campaign," Cruz writes in the email. "The governor's support and your constant encouragement played a critical part in our triumph."

Cruz has the backing of a number of outside groups in his come-from-behind primary win, though Palin's rally with him in the closing days of the primary may have helped give him some momentum.

Palin has been sporadic in her political involvement since her resignation at Alaska governor outside of her television appearances, though as Cruz notes she backed other winners like now-Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) during the 2012 election cycle. The email from her super-PAC, which links to a page asking for donations, is the first post-election sign that she plans to stay actively involved in campaigns.
