In the wake of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) convention this week in Miami, many GOP governors were reluctant to embrace Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) as the party’s leader or presidential candidate for 2012. Today, the RGA made that sentiment official, by not voting her in to any of the organization’s leadership positions:
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. […]Not on the list? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who also attended the Miami meeting.
And I wonder if Palin is going to play the sexist card for being dumped by the RGA leadership.

Sarah's folksy wink didn't work with the male Govenors this time. Looks like Sarah will have to go home and make some calls to the rich old men she met while campaigning. First Dude might be single soon.
Joe the Plummer needs money so he's writing a book. It's three pages and let's see who buys a copy.

Yeah, he needs to get a plumber's license.
A bunch of Democrats are saying that Palin should run in 2012 because that should make an Obama win then so much easier!
