Unbelievable: GOP governors sniping at Palin over press conference (Whining GOP govs)
HotAir.com ^ | 11/13/08 | Allahpundit

To my fellow bloggers: The next time you get an e-mail from someone saying it’s time to organize a conservative netroots, bear in mind that it’s these morons, by and large, whom that person wants you to support. The same people who couldn’t muster a judgment on the bailout independent of Nancy Pelosi being a big meanie, the same people who can’t organize a press conference without having it descend into backbiting and recriminations.

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.”

This isn’t about Palin, it’s about basic competence on messaging. The McCain camp couldn’t manage it and now the governors can’t either. Who’s left?

I'm sure more than a few democrats have privately said the same thing about Hillary & Obama over the past four years.

They just didn't have eager CNN reporters to complain to.

This isn’t how you bind up a party’s wounds.

There is such a thing as grace, and graciousness, and these guys don’t have it.

Of course, don’t leave out the news-writers. They’re fishing for this kind of “narrative” and dimwit Repubs fall right in. Of course, if they didn’t, the new-writers would make up the quotes anyway. Who’s to say it didn’t happen?

They need to get over it.
When one of them starts packing stadiums and gets millions of viewers to tune in on TV I will sit down and shut up until then they should use her to help the entire party.
Egos will kill us.

Why in the world are you watching CNN?

Don't you know they will magnify the least Repub rift in order to broadcast it to gullible people who will consider it gospel truth (like you)?

Republicans are morons they allow their quotes to be molded by the media they are just too stupid to control what they say.

Politicians in general are useless idiots. They all need to be be made to do the right thing. It does not come naturally to most of them.
