The Gov is a friend of Palin, she introduced her at the GOP convention
Doesn't mean she's not a RINO, just means she has an acquaintance with Palin. Not too many female Republican Governors. They probably hang out together at the conventions and meetings. I hang out with my peers on my faculty when we go to seminars. I disagree with each and every one of their political opinions but we still sit and eat together at these meetings out of familiarity. We get along, too. For the most part. I don't have anything to say to the avowed communists, but we're still civil.
