Sarah's Christmas Card Order
After the election last year, Republican Bob McDonnell expected former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to campaign with him.
In the summer, even after Palin's stunning announcement that she was resigning as governor of Alaska, McDonnell said he would welcome her to Virginia.
This week, McDonnell made it clear that would not happen.
"There was a time earlier on when she was governor when I thought she would come here,'' McDonnell said after a candidates' forum in Loudoun County earlier this week.
"But I think she seems to be busy with books and other things like that. We've still got about 20 different events scheduled down the road and she's not in one of them."
But Palin adviser Meg Stapleton told Politico that her boss offered to help McDonnell. Calls and e-mails to Palin's political action committee were not returned. Her PAC donated $2,500 to McDonnell this summer.
Palin's visits to the state drew enormous, enthusiastic crowds of Republicans last year, but Democrats would have a field day with Palin's arrival if she did come here.
