Also, from the article:

The House Republicans seemed to do just fine without Palin. Their list of speakers included Republican stars Michael Steele, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich.

Asked about Palin's no-show, House Republican leader John Boehner shrugged.

"Whatever," Boehner said.

What a response.

And the media Palin-smearing continues.

Bad move on her part if she has designs on a bigger role in the GOP. If she had stayed home then fine but blowing off that event is a sign that she’s still got a lot to learn.

I don’t think we’re getting the full story.

Even if true, considering the way she was treated by MANY in the party, can you blame her that much if she’s not really interested in hanging with them just now.

It appears as though the freaks at abc are still suffering from SPDS. Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome.

Good for Sarah.

I wouldn't want to be that list of Rinopublicans either. She owes them nothing.

She should have made the appearance. If she wants to run again on her own name then she should be making friends around the country.

"Whatever," Boehner said.

That attitude is exactly why the GOP lost the election and so many seats.

And we would believe ABC News without first questioning them? It could be true but it is the Down Stream Media we’re talking about here.

Ah yes, unnamed sources within a liberal media story designed to split Republicans again.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No matter what she does, someone is going to be unhappy.

Not sure I believe ABC would ever give us the true story in anything to do with Sarah.

Is this smearing? She is in Washington afterall, not on state business. Unless there is something else to this story I think this is a mistake on her part, and I say that as a fan of hers.
