As some of the most prominent Republican women across the country gather next week in Orlando, arguably the most well-known of them will not be in attendance.

Despite an invitation to speak at the conference, Sarah Palin, former vice presidential candidate, and until recently Alaska governor, decided not come to the National Federation of Republican Women's 35th Convention, according to the organization.

An estimated 1,200 Republican women leaders will attend the three day conference, and some of those are want Palin to reconsider.

"It is disappointing," says Barbara Davis, who heads the Melbourne, Fla. chapter." We were hoping that she would come.It would have benefited her to attend."

She said no. She didn’t say she hated them.
Why is that a snub? She has other commitments.

Besides, I was a member of that organization,
and they are completely infiltrated with
Alinsky disrupters. The stories I could tell.

Not a good PR move. Somebody had better get a hold of her and advise her on the political facts of life. She seems to be getting bad press. It cannot be all the MSM.

They could give a crap about her. All they want is her name there to draw money for Crist and the other rinos

What good the GOP ever do for Gov. Palin when she was actually governor? Did it help to cover any of the legal bills she has to deal with? Did it do anything to fight back against her detractors on the left?

No.

Turnabout is fair play.

Yep, Sarah Palin picks her colleagues well...she is not a joiner to the likes of those mostly Rinos....establishment pubs just ain’t her style...besides, in Alaska she put ‘em in jail.

Maybe she is too busy. Just that simple—not a snub.
