CNN: GOP governors unhappy with Palin press conference
Some Republican governors tell CNN they were not particularly happy with the way the Republican Governors Association press conference was executed Thursday, saying that they agreed to go as a show of GOP governors’ unity — but they ended up feeling like silent Palin supporters, since it was clearly a press conference called for her.

The GOP governors spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity.

One called it awkward: “I’m sure you could see it on some of our faces.”

Another Republican governor eyeing a presidential run in 2012 told CNN the event was “odd” and “weird,” and said it “unfortunately sent a message that she was the de facto leader of the party."

There has been palpable tension among some GOP governors gathered in Miami that Palin has been sucking up all the media oxygen.

2. You created her, fellas
You deal with her if you're unhappy with what she's become and what she's doing.

12. Long live Sarah Palin and her enormous ego.
The evangelical problem has come to head within the GOP, and Sarah Palin is like a crow-bar, prying these two sides apart every time she opens her stupid gob.

16. Rick Perry manhandled her (Sarah)
Edited on Thu Nov-13-08 06:50 PM by varun
He grabbed her and brought her to the front ... It looked like he was mad (she took all the limelight)

17. I wonder who the ef it that arranged the press conference.
They should put the heat on that person or persons. Maybe it was someone from Palin's VP staff or her governor's staff that arranged it. But still would think that someone in the RGA that provided assistance.
