Oops!!!! Sarah Palin ignored by the RGA

She didn't even make the gala committee!! The most popular governor is apparently not a hit in her own party.
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/11/14/republican-governors-pick-sanford-as-chairman/
<snip>

The Republican Governors Association announced its new leadership lineup today after their annual meeting concluded Thursday in Miami.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was voted RGA chairman, taking over the top job from Texas Gov. Rick Perry who will now serve as finance chairman. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is vice-chairman, while Florida Gov. Charlie Crist will serve as chair for the annual RGA gala, and Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue will head up the recruitment effort.

Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle, Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will also sit on the RGA’s executive committee.

“Republican Governors are natural leaders who will find solutions to our nation’s challenges and bring back the Party,” Sanford said in a statement.

Not on the list? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who also attended the Miami meeting... Palin’s presence at the meeting distracted from the broader display of unity they were seeking.

1. I guess they grew tired of The Diva.
They even see that she is a dope.

3. Finding it odd...
That Sarah Palin is talking and speaking more than she did on the campiagn after the Campiagn? She is all of sudden defending her position and her thoughts about this whole issue of where she should and who's clothes is whos...and all this trash...

Quite Frankly, I am sick of her...and you should be sick of her too...

taff

6. Talk Palin, talk: keep on talking
the more she talks, the more I'm lovin' it.

I'm hoping the RGA is investigating 'housegate'. Did those Wasilla contractors build her home for free after getting the contract for the sports center. This is all good. :popcorn: :rofl:

10. Her strategy is to rewrite history, as positioning for 2012
She has to muddy the water with her own revised version of 2008 before the true story becomes the common story. So, she repeats ad nauseam the claim that she was "annoyed" (rather than stumped) by Couric, that she wanted to talk to the press more (rather than that she deliberately avoided them), that she was a team-player (instead of a self-interested maverick), etc...

4. Charlie Crist in charge of the RGA Gala.
I guess they figured the gay guy would be able to put together a good party.

9. Sarah, come home.
Take a hint -- you hurt Alaska's reputation every time you open your mouth.
