Now we know why John McCain didn't let her talk to the media. I betcha he wants a redue but sorry John you only get one chance to get it right. You gamble with the security of this country with your choice of her and the people spoke loud and clear.

Unless the GOP wants Palin as its leader for the next several years, another party leader needs to offer herself or himself as a viable alternative. In the meantime, Palin continues to cement herself as the face of the GOP. As a democrat, I could not imagine a better scenario. I still believe the GOP has good ideas to offer in governing our country, but Palin represents none of them.

They should grow a pair! Palin has them eating out of her hands… being a woman, she knows how to rope'em and she's not done! She knows how to give them what they want to stay in the spotlight herself. Once she makes them feel comfortable with her then the real Sarah Palin will show up! I'm sure she trying to follow their lead right now but …give her a minute and she will do them like she did the Mayor, the Govenor and the poor Librarian in Alaska…..

Priceless… The blackwidow female spider usually eates her mate after they do the do..

RNC be prepared to be ate, McCain was the head and body, all the rest of you flunkies are the legs… The legs always taste the best

Of course the GOP think the same thing that many of us think,,,she has no substance, will never win an election, but want to show a united front…however, we will hear more and more that the gop is throwing her under the bus…if they don't, they know they have no chance of winning with her on the ticket in 2012. That being said, please do not keep covering her….

Wow! She just ticks off everyone.

The GOP continue to embrace Sarah Palin as their next leader and that to me imply that the party is becoming anti-intellectual. Sarah ONLY speaks English and when she speaks, one cannot understand what the heck she saying or trying to say. Can the GOP actually envision Sarah Palin as president, representing the great US of A on the world stage…

I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT WOMAN SHE IS JUST NOT WORTH IT

I'm praying for the republicans, with your new leader of the party and all..lolol. I just want to take a moment and say THANKS because with an idiot like Palin Dems won't have a worry in the world.lolololol Thanks Again

So. Are we sick-a-Sarah?

You betcha.

this is the first time any GOP politician has done something to benefit the lives of so many americans…..

I really wish the Media would stop covering everything Palin does. It is getting OLD quick!

Just when I thought the media would have no one left to bash…

How I wish Palin will go on to be the GOP leader! That will a very big gift to the Democrats in years to come. She seems not to get it that palling with the press is no substitute to her glaring ignorance to domestic and international issues.

quit letting her talk…..if you throw a party and no one comes….is it still a party….if you give a press conference and none of the press show up….is it still a press conference. Make her invisible. Ignor the woman behind the curtain

And Republicans wanted her as the VP!!

Be careful what you ask for!! You just might get it!!!

Can't we just put a muzzle on her and ship her back to Alaska for good?!! I'm soooooo sick of hearing about and from that woman. She gives all Americans a bad name, especially women.

I am still waiting to hear Gov. Palin deliver a properly contsructed sentence without the aid of a teleprompter.

Republicans, would you not like to have an intelligent person lead your party?

I like Palin!!!

For the GOP!!! LOL

Please let her go! We are sick of her foolishness and negativity. She LOST!!!
We WON!!!

If Palin is going to be the GOP's solution in saving the Republican party I say, as a Democrat, keep her front and center. There is no better person than Palin to insure a 2012 victory for Obama and Democrats in general.

Enought is enought. America is tired of hearing about this uneducated, self fulfilling person. She has no substance but yet she feels she needs to stay in the spotlight for whatever reason. She needs to go away and America needs to move on.

YOU GUYS HAVE LOST YOUR MINDS PALIN IS ONE OF THE MOST ADMIRABLE WOMEN YOU COULD EVER MEET CNN YOU ARE PATHETIC AND LOST

Sarah Palin is simply filling a void left by years of Republican corruption and neglect. The fact that an unsophisticated, uninformed
politician who can't seem to articulate coherent policy statements about anything ("progress" is a verb but not the way Sarah uses it)
can actually attract a following is a sad statement about how far the GOP has fallen. As Matt Taibi put it, the fact that a fraud like Sarah Palin is holding our attention says more about us than it does about her.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Guess they will do like I do – when she's on tv, switch channels.

Ha ha ha ha ha haha

Ms Palin needs to get a credfible education first before she embarks on another try for the White House. What about more intelligent person like PAwlenty, Jindal. If the Republican expect to win the next election they must at least get an in telligent person to lead their party

Is CNN or MSNBC or NBC every going to not report about Palin's whereabouts on a daily basis? She is very unprepared for any elected position. Gods know how she was elected in corrupt Alaska!!! She is the most illerate person speaking. Stop reporting about her and let her political career die…she needs to go away and raise her children to some degree of literacy!!!

Good Grief now it seems we can't shut her up!!!

If the GOP is handed over to clowns like Palin and Mccain, this party is doomed for ever!

While I'm not a Palin supporter, I have to give her credit…she is shrewd in the manner she appears to be building her case for a 2012 run, if that is indeed her plan. I think she said many ridiculous things, but she shouldn't be taken lightly.

I love how some of the people who posted on the previous story about this said that it was awkward only because the "liberal media" said so … I didn't know that other Republican governors were part of the liberal media.

At this point the buzz around Sarah Palin is far more a pop-culture phenomenon than a significant political issue.

There are large factions within the party that do not respect her, and do not regard her as a person with long term staying power. She certainly doesn't have long-term potential proportionate to all of the media attention she is getting.

This time next year, I really think we'll all be saying "Yea… Sarah Palin…. I remember her. Wasn't that whole thing so strange?.."

Is it time for an intervention, CNN? This Palin obsession of yours can't be healthy.

I'm so sick of seeing her face on every channel. I watched Matt Lauer ask her about the Katie Couric questions – specifically the one about her reading material. After sputtering around for five minutes, she finally said she was annoyed by Katie's question – that Katie had asked her what she read up there in ALASKA as opposed to what other people read in the lower 48. LIE! This is how she twists the truth. Katie never asked her what she read up in Alaska. She simply asked her what she read – period. And Palin couldn't answer. This woman is not a good person. Her Christianity is hype. She doesn't know the meaning of Godliness.
I'm thinking if we give her enough rope, she'll hang herself.

Let's face it… we're all addicted to Palin… she's like OJ….

She just looked at that press conference and said " I'll just plow through it in a mavericky sort of way you betcha being that and all.

I am a working woman and would like to see a female President running this country. She does not represent me or my beliefs. I do not use my looks to succeed, it is called hard work. I would rather see Chelsea or the Bush's daughters running for such a role. She would be a joke to the rest of the world if she was to do so in 2012. Let's just pack out bags and hide in a cave…

They keep puttin this woman out in front of the cameras, so what do they expect?

We just love Palin, and hope she'll run and win in 2012. She's such a maverick, and tells it like it is, and that's why we like her! And she's patriotic, and God Bless her for all she's done for this country.

Settle down, folks – you knew the 2012 presidential campaign would start immedately after the '08 ended! She is trying to redefine herself (with the media's cooperation, this time!), but don't expect her to be around 2 years from now. I haven't really seen the real Sarah Palin able to dig herself out of the hole she finds herself in…

She really is a diva!

After she did not follow her handler's suggestions, went off script over and over, tried to speak with the French president without telling McCain, blew chance after chance to at least appear intelligent and now you wonder why she did this. She has to be from Alaska. Even Texas is too small for her ego and ambition.

Wow, CNN does it again, just like the story about Palins gaff about Africa being a country and not a continent. It turns out now that the story was fabricated and not vetted as were all the other stories people keep spreading around about Sarah.
Will it make any difference…probably not, now that it is too late. The damage has been done and I say again that had she been black, none of this would have happened, simply because no one wants to appear bigoted or racist. It seems to be okay though for a white woman to be slandered again and again…go for it CNN!

Diva on the loose! Diva on the loose! God help the Rebublican Party!

Hey, CNN where is your retraction of that phony story that Palin didn't know Africa was continent rather than a nation?
And still noone points out that Joe Biden doesn't know the difference between TV and radio or what year the stock market crashed occured in (at least as far as FDR is concerned)
I've lost all respect for your reporting this election season.

That is the problem with the GOP, I wonder what they will say if it was Jindal talking. He is also young and and new to the crow. I am sure they will welcome him. Everytime there is a powerful women, whether is Democrat or Republican, men will go after them! jajaja..Go Palin!

Good for the GOP to stand up to this woman and say to her ENOUGH!!

My sister wouldn't let me lead her around like these men are being led around by Ms Palin. Maybe they need to 'put on their big girl panties" and take a walk away from her. As someone else already said many weeks ago, she is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Sara Palin didn't get the memo that the race is over and Obama is the President. She thinks she is the President and the rest of the GOP is her VP. She is too obesss with herself. Diva gone WILDED!

Sarah you lost, people don't like you get over it

I didn't bother to even read this story. One question for CNN: why are you reporting anything on this person? She's yesterday's news – a losing VP – and yet, every day you're carrying multiple front page stories on her. I refuse to open the links. How about some reporting on current events? Out of disgust, I'm going to have to find another news source.

"odd" and "weird" the perfect words to describe Palin's presence on the national political scene…its also "odd" and "wierd" that she now is holding press conferences after the presidential race. Yeah John McCain obviously hasn't told Palin that the race ended on Nov 4. I betcha Palin hasn't gotten the memo as of yet.

These aren't really -these can't be- the Republican Governors. We were punked, weren't we. Or it was a sitcom, right? A reality show? Why did Perry cut her off so fast? Dang, I think the agenda called for Gary Busey to speak next.

Get her a game show!

I am going to buy the "Talking Sarah Palin Doll" for all of you!!

all i gotta say is A M E N to (ELF November 13th, 2008 3:45 pm ET)

I love the GOP bickering. Palin is not the future of the Greed Over People party.

Face it GOP. She is the leader of your party.

YA THINK? If she would stop and have someone "PROOF READ" her speeches, she might start appearing half way intelligent. You have to squint and strain just to understand what the heck she's talking about! She is digging a bigger hole….thanks for helping out CNN. : )

As women I am not in the least bit impressed with Palin. She's basically a smoke and mirrors display put forth by the GOP to try and awe the public into supporting them. Unfortunately they chose a person who lacks basic 5th grade civics knowledge. She's all 'pretty' and no brains. I'm also troubled by her constant grab for attention from the media. Doesn't this lady have a state to govern? What does she actually do for Alaska? I voted republican every year of my life until this one. If the GOP wants to win back this vote in 4 years they're gonna need to put forth a candidate with both ideas, and a brain. Looks don't mean squat when you have nothing to back them up with.

Ya think?

From some of the coverage the last few days from the conference, it's obvious that the other governors are at least annoyed and as sick of her as the rest of us are.

They (the other governors), like us, want the same thing, for her to just go back to Wasilla to never be heard from again.

She's incurably stupid. The American people rejected her resoundingly on November 4. Sorry CNN. No matter how much you attempt to shove this ignoramus down our throats, we're not buying.

Palin is an absolute lunatic. I can not believe she was actually running for the #2 spot in all of the US. Heck, It scares me that she was elected to any office in the entire US at all. She is an absolute symbol of the cancerous fungus eating at the under belly of the GOP.

As a former republican, I will have nothing to do with them until they rid themselves of all such closed minded, non compromising and fanatical right wing nut cases. It's a shame to see a once great party taken over by 'single issue minded representatives'.

OK, so now will she go away? she's a small town bully at best and has delusions of grandeur – NO MORE PALIN!!!!

I know it's not the media responsibility but someone needs to tell her she not ready and really sound like she don't know what she is talking about. Everytime she brings up Joe the Plumber sound like someone telling me the story of Santa and we all know how that story ends NOT TRUE!

The more this woman talks the more DUMB she makes all Republicans look. She already took down John McCain, now she is determined to take down the entire party for good by setting herself up for a run in 2012. Good riddance!

Fighting over the rubble, cute.

Yep and with Palin in front shes sucking it in faster then the titanic sank

Why is she still around? Starved for attention perhaos. She is out of her league and should go back to Alaska NOW. She is an embarssment. Still talking about Joe the Plumber? If the GOP has her as the next leader of the party they are in trouble!

Please stop with the Palin crap. If you stop reporting it, maybe she will go away. I vote NO on more Palin coverage by the media.

What else should these people have expected? For Gov. Palin, it's all about HER and getting herself elected to a higher political office. The Republican party as far as she is concerned is only to get her there. She doesn't care about the party or its problems.

the media needs to ignore her so she will go away. she is a loose cannon and does not represent the majority will of the republican people. she is selfish and thinks very highly of herself. she will destroy anything and anyone that gets in her way for power. she needs to be stopped before she can hurt the party even worse.

Someone forgot to post the "Check Your Egos at the Door" sign at the GOP governors' conference. I guess they didn't learn much from the election. Poor GOPs.

Is everyone in the GOP afraid to stand up to this woman? I say this because eveyone that has spoken against her will only do so with anonymity.

Ms. Palin would quit talking if the media would quit putting a microphone in her face…..please let her fade away

I am really tired of hearing about her. Why she just shut up her big mouth and stays in Alaska. I am serious I am tired of her

Palin is no longer newworthy, quit giving her the coverage and she will go back to Alaska.

If Palin keeps representing the GOP, I'm becoming an independent.

It's obvious the Mississippi Gov is to busy looking at other things palin has and not the whole picture. Of course she is sucking up all the media this stupid woman really thinks she can lead this party and she is saying and doing everything she can to appear that way. These other govenor's are so stupid, they are sitting back and letting this moron speak for their party, LOL this is so hilarious to me.

Let them continue to let her keep running her annoying mouth, they will be in a bigger fix then they have right now. Palin is for herself, yo see how she kicked mccain to the curb and started campaigning for herself. When are you people going to wake up to this loud mouth, ignorant fool.

Hey Sarah….The election is over….you lost…go home and just be Govenor. We don't want you and your cutesy talk……There are plenty of intelligent Republican leaders out there.

Everybody has forgotten, due to all the flak and propaganda
spewed by the media, that Sarah Palin was successful in
politics in Alaska because of her honest quest to rid Alaska
politics of crooks and scalywags.
The very Republicans who are against her now don't want
her on the national scene for good reason. She is a danger
to their ongoing carpet bagging of the American people.
Do yourselves a favor. Stop listening to the media and
go out and find her book. It's only 145 pages or so long.
Read the book and do your own research. You'll find a much
different Sarah than you know now.
She's got my vote anytime, anywhere. She's exactly what
we've all been crying about wanting in Washington for years.
Just because she's gorgeous doesn't mean she can't lead.
And let's put a worn out question ,since the election, to rest.
Had Sarah Palin not been on the McCain ticket, I and millions
of other Republicans would not have voted that ticket….PERIOD!

This woman belongs in Hollywood, not Washington.

Divas don't share the stage with anybody.

Enough! We're all unhappy with her and TIRED of reading about her!

I'm sick of Palin.

Her 15 minutes of fame are up, she lost the election, and we have a new President – can we focus on the winners here?

KEEP IT UP – PALIN!!! ALL THE WORLD IS YOUR STAGE AND THE REPUBLICAN STOOGES ARE THERE TO CONFIRM YOUR TRIUMPH!!

This woman (Palin) is unbelievable. She has no substance, no shame and no awareness. Does she know the people are laughing at her? Can somebody tell her?

I almost feel sorry for the GOP having to deal with the Palin debacle, "almost" being the operative word. Clearly she is attempting to set herself up as the head of the party. As a liberal democrat I could easily cheer her on, hoping they'll all self-destruct, but I'm not that mean.

GOP governors unhappy with Palin? Really?

The public is sick to death of her and her mouth.

Now even her fellow members think like the rest of us who actually can see right through her need and desire for attention. She is definately a star, now maybe her, Paris, Lindsey, and Britney can go out for a couple of drinks and forget to wear underwear. HA HA HA

Soon her 15 minutes will be over.

Palin 2012! This would be the best news we Obama supporters could possibly hear – she is the gift that keeps on giving!!!

Seriously Republicans, rethink your brand and figure out how to be a viable party. Start by looking for real solutions that connect with real voters – not corporations, religious fundamentalist extremists, or other fringe groups. Stop creating fake issues that seek to divide instead of bridge (like gay marriage) and false representatives of Main Street (like Joe the Plumber). Stop denying climate change. The list goes on and on – in fact honesty can actually get you pretty far…

These Governors may as well suck it up palin is the monster they helped to create. By her and her husbands standards she is now the new leader of the Republican party.
Big Boys don't cry!

I thought it surprising that she spoke as if including all the other governors — particularly the statement that if Washington doesn't move forward in a way they like, it will be up to the Republican governors to do the job. That's a quick paraphrase, of course, but I have to wonder just how she thinks a group of governors can take over congress and tell them what to do? She spoke as if she is suddenly the de facto leader of the republican party. My guess is that a lot of other republicans just might take issue with that stance.

Please, please, make this woman go away.

Sarah Palin keeps talking to the press and media however no serious questions are asked, but Sarah talks a lot but says absolutely zilch nothing, beauty queen answers in a beauty contest.

Palin is lost in her own celebrity status. This woman is as vain as they come and is the last thing we need in the White House….ever!
The Republican Party would be smart to send her back to the wilds of Alaska before she destroys the Party forever.

Stop being whimps and tell it to her face. They are all just cowards. Don't blame her for the media obsession.

Palin loves the Attention you know like Paris Hilton or Brittany spears, I hope that crazy woman doesnt think everyone loves her like her crowds she gathered during the Campaign .I say it once I say it Again the reason she did not release her Medical records two words MENTIALLY ILL!

Palin needs to realize the election is over. She lost. She needs to go sit up in Alaska and catch up on all the work she most likely let go while traveling all over the country. We've got serious problems to solve and she's not part of the solution. I'm tired of seeing her face in the news, hearing her voice every time I turn around. Palin, you lost – now go home, shut the F up!

The GOP thinks that was awkward?!? You want to talk about wird and awkward, we had to watch it.

Send Palin home already!! And tell her the race is over. Move on!

That woman is like a sliver in ones butt. No matter how hard you try to get rid of it, it won't go away. She is the biggest joke to come down the pike. I have no and I mean no idea what the people in Alaska see in her.

SHE'S THE LEADER OF HER PARTY!

[and a shining example of their ineptitude and lo-IQs]

Her rivals in the GOP will be the ones who bring down Palin, and not a moment too soon.

Palin needs to go back to Alaska and run that state, and spend less time on media for herself and more time with her kids and family.

I have a great idea, CNN! Stop the Palin stories. This isn't news any more. I've counted at least 8 stories in 2 days… knock it off.

palin is joke .. she rules Rep party out of the race !

Hey people wake up, it's all about Sarah even her kids don't matter much to this giant ego.

John McCain woke up the inner grandness in Sarah and she has her sights set on Queen of the World.

As long as the GOP have so much in fighting and back stabbing and speak with anonymity, the democrats will maintain control!!!!

The Republican party has made their bed, and now they have to sleep in it. It serves them right. As a party, they enthusiastically supported a VP candidate who was barely qualified or informed enough to run for Student Council Vice President,and now she is theirs for keeps.

Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party owe Mr. McCain a huge debt of gratitude for this. It is a gift that will keep on giving.

Recipe to make Sarah Palin: Take George W. Bush, remove 20 years, add estrogen.

Can some body please help Sara Palin she sound like she needs professional help.

To everything there is a time and season. The GOP has had there time and their season.

Please, please, please more Palin all the time. I can think of nothing better to keep Republicans in a permanent minority status than having the Governor of Alaska as the face of the party. You betcha!!

Palin's insatiable need for attention continues to alienate. She's happily on the way to fizzling out even as she attempts to construct a competent facade and clambers to garner her next fix of publicity.

Sarah is a stalker AND crazy.

The GOP are doomed if they let this stalker take the lead of their party. People would be jumping from tall buildings trying to get away from her run on repetitive sentences with no substance.

I gotta tell you, the woman is driving me batty!

This woman is a Cancer to the Republican Party! I hope she sticks around a LONG time!

Will someone please tell this woman to go home. I'm a democrat and I feel sorry for the republicans…she's all for one and one for Sarah. You folks need to give her the gate.

palin has clearly shows that she has a psychological problem and its called NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER…..GOD help us all!!!

They knew it was bound to happen. If they felt uncomfortable with it, they should have said something. Don't come complaining to CNN about how you feel. Man up and next time, stand you ground and just say no.

If these "governors" do not have the backbone to speak up and say something BEFORE, then they are incapable of leading this country. What did they THINK it would look like?

Why is the media so intent on following this self-serving individual's every move? PLEASE STOP! She is no stateperson, nor will she ever be.

You'd think that would have occurred to them prior to the conference.

Talk about disarray! Now that their tight little coalition of traditional Repubs, neo-cons, religious right and proud-to-be-stupid folk has been shattered, it's a mad scramble to…what?

I thought that the Neanderthals were extinct. Scientists need to go to Alaska and investigate.

That does it. There's a limit to how much Palin-talk I can tolerate and you've reached it with me. Hey CNN, how about reporting on more meaningful news? I'm switching to a another news website.

This just shows how irrelevent she has becoem. Now she is p ing off the people who hold the same ofice as her.
This woman has no clue how bad she looks, and sounds…her time is the spotlight is over…but she refuses to go away.
media do your job and stop covering her.

Haha!

"Look at me! Look at me! Look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Ok lets see it this way..all you guys complaining aftrewards were not held at "GUN POINT" you guys should have objected to it seeing that Gov Palin will soil the intelegence of everyone by her views.
LOL funny though..its the GOP finger pointing. Someone pls tell Gove Palin Sen McCain accepted defeat and stopped campaigning so also Sarah pls stop all the THE AMERICAN HERO crazie.
I am Free Again and i approve this message…..opps
Election is over…maybe on 2016

They really need to reign her in. It is absolutely ridiculous that she is getting this much attention.

$50 bucks she says these governors were cowards for not giving their names with their criticisms.

The GOP needs to put a holly stake through this person's heart or she is going to pull them all down permanently. She cannot form a coherent sentence. She is way to right-wing to attract anyone but part of the loyal base. She is NOT a good choice for leadership of the party. The sooner they act the better.

What do expect losers to say about another loser. Palin is a moron and they just aren't allowed to say that at their meeting. She won't be around in 2012, she'll be moose hunting and breeding some more.

Is this really a surprise?

Look at how she and her family have behaved.

I have a smuch use for Palin as I do for donald Trump. Pahleeze…the media needs to quit cowtailing to her, she is a constant source of tension and controversy…when is she going to accept losing and go away?

How could GOP go so WROOOOOOOOOONG?

Man…this is too funny. The GOP is imploding right before our eyes.

Palin 2012 (to ensure Obama a 2nd term)

Hey, Republicans!

I have a first grader in my family who would do a better job for you as leader of the Republican party than Sarah Palin!

Why don't you GUYS band together and bel REAL MEN and tell the world this Alaskan Bimbo doesn't represent an IOTA of what the Republican party is about.

Or does she?

What is wrong with the GOP? Are they all morons? What was the point of standing behind her, if you weren't showing support for her as your leader?

I almost feel sorry for Palin…everyone wants to turn on her….NOW….
