Palin PING! - No.4 - May 16, 2009
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Nice!
Seems Gov. Palin has hired another lawyer, Randy Evans, who leaves his post as the General Counsel for the Georgia GOP. From the AJC politics blog:
Savannah Notes from this mornings session of the state GOP convention:Who knows what this means but it's interesting. Evans supposedly has very close ties to Newt Gingrich.This morning at breakfast, state GOP chairman Sue Everhart formally announced the end of Randy Evanstenure as the partys legal counsel.
Evans was leaving her for Sarah Palin, she said.
Which was an interesting statement. Palin just announced a book contract, if you recall. And Evans has negotiated many, many contracts for books by prominent Republicans, including Newt Gingrich and J.C. Watts, who just finished addressing the convention. Evans remains legal counsel for both.
During a spare moment, we were able to ask Evans if he had negotiated Palins book deal. He declined to answer but acknowledged he is now doing legal work for Palin. Im not going to say what Im doing, he said. I represent a lot of people.
