No takers for Sarah Palin in Republican gubernatorial race | Sarah Palin, one of the most talked-about potential 2012 presidential candidates, has not been sought by Republican gubernatorial candidates to campaign for them. Less than a month before voters go to the polls, it appears clear that the former
Alaska governor, will not appear on behalf of either New Jersey's Chris Christie
or Virginia's Bob McDonnell. Given her loyal following among many in the party's
grass roots, it's Palin who could surely draw the largest crowd and perhaps raise
the most money for the two candidates, Politico reports. "The governor offered
her assistance with both races. The ball is in their court," said Palin adviser
Meg Stapleton. Neither GOP campaign wanted to discuss why they didn't want Palin
in the state. Not surprisingly given the political makeup of the two states, only
McDonnell's campaign would offer a nod her way. "With 26 days left until the election,
we do not anticipate Gov. Palin campaigning in Virginia at this point," said McDonnell
spokesman Tucker Martin. "She has donated to our campaign, and we appreciate her
support of Bob McDonnell, and her historic run as the Republican nominee for vice
president." Privately, Republicans aides in Virginia and New Jersey say that a
Palin appearance with their candidates could offend swing voters who are turned
off by the polarizing Alaskan. |
