The "Governor" - did I miss something, or is she currently the governor of some other state? So far as anyone else seems to know, she is the ex-governor of Alaska.

No, it is Governor. In the same way that I referrer to the Yellow Pose of Texas as Governor earlier today. It is about respect.

There are 2 titles you keep for life in the United States...Governor and Ambassador...I don't know about President

Keep ‘em coming.

No one refers to the Great Clinton as an EX-president.

Once a Governor... that title sticks for life... unless you become President... then that title sticks for life.

Nit-pick much? Once a governor ALWAYS a governor.

You know, if Perry and Palin ended up on the same ticket... all this snarkiness could make you look like a jackass. Just sayin’

Ex-governors are still referred to as “Governor” just as ex presidents are referred to as “President”.

You can thank me for your new found knowledge.....

It is routine practice to refer to ex officials by their highest former title (thus, Cheney is “Mr. Vice President” even though he’s not the current VP, etc).

I don’t know if you should use the ‘ex’ or not, but wouldn’t the proper title be ‘Gove-’?
