ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) - Republican National Committee co-chair Jo
Ann Davidson mistakenly referred to the party's presumptive vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, as "Sarah Pawlenty" at the Republican National Convention Tuesday.
Palin, the governor of Alaska, was a surprise choice to join Sen. John McCain on the Republican ticket. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty had been considered one of the front-runners for the slot.

The RePUKicians are a joke. Both McUgly & Palin..Palan...Pawlinety...oh, whats-her-name are not qualified to be the president.
I agree with Mike, OH this should be a show to watch.
What subliminal messages? I've heard of mis-pronouncing a name, but this really says something. Just maybe the staff really wanted Pawlenty and were overruled?
the subconscious mind works wonders doesn't it...no one really wants the 1000# wt. on the party's back
To be honest, it's so sad! I would love to hear the excuse for this one!
We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot .... man, I hope someone pulls her aside and gives her the what for!!
Chairperson, The great state of Alaska casts its 3 electoral votes for the next President of the United States, John Romney, I mean Giulianni, I mean...!!!
THIS IS NEWS?? Boy the GOP must be having an awful convention so far.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Wait until McCain's wife speaks with her SAKS Fith Avenue 10,000 dollar out fit with the collar turned up like the stepford wives.
The Republican partys theme for the convention should be, THE BIGGEST LOSER.
These people are completly fony and corrupt and embarrasment to my party. I am switching Democratic for the sake of my country.
And they have the nerve to have Bush and Cheney speak.
GROSS
At least she didn't say Sarah Saakashvili
What can I say...wonder what is being swept under the moose rug up in Alaska?
This is more fun than Jay Leno.
maybe its because she is in pawlenty of hot water. Palin will be gone in a week, and then obama will have to deal with a mccain/romney ticket which will be far more challanging.
I thought her name was Failin...oops I mean Palin
These are some dumb SOBs
Pawlenty is the one most Reps thought would be chosen. Go Sarah Pawlenty!
Subconscience is talking.
That is so funny!!!
Wow.
Just the first of what I'm sure will be a very entertaining convention.
very sad, bunch of old people senile very very sad
Shows how well known she was prior to her selection. Remember all of her wonderful executive experience...
Wow.... There are many republican females better known and experience with more populated states.
Vetoe all of their beers. Send them to chezchavakia. Keep forgetting everything.
Pennsyv
Wow that is funny!! Sounds like something McCain would do, but the co-chair doing it too is funny. All the republicans are just a bunch of fools, there are still more gaffs to come.
Obama
Biden

Given the RNC co-chair a break, we all didn't even know she existed as of 4 days ago.....
