Sarah Palin urged his fellow Republicans to control the new president Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in a number of issues ranging from taxes to health care, in an indication that it intended to take a leadership role in a party that looking for a new driver.
In a message to the Republican Governors Association on Thursday, the Republican vice presidential candidate in the recent elections _and mentioned as a possible presidential candidate for the 2012_ recalled some aspects of the acrimonious campaign and spoke about the role of governors in the coming year. After losing the White House and more seats in both houses of Congress, the party is looking for guidance.
"We are the minority party," Palin said at a meeting of "Looking ahead: the GOP (Republican Party) in transition." "But we decided not to be the negative party."
Palin never mentioned the name of the president-elect, but he fired over a dart.
The former vice presidential candidate noted that Congress is led by people like the head of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the majority in the Senate, Harry Reid and Representative Barney Frank, and said that the governors are to ensure that the federal government did not take control of the system of health care. He added that if Obama and the new Congress "will exceed tax issue, we have to show them the way."
Faced with the prospect of losing power in the White House and throughout the Congress for the first time since 1992, Republicans among its governors are seeking to fill the vacuum of leadership.
The conjecture have revolved around Palin despite his two tumultuous months in the national political scene. Will probably have competition for a possible presidential effort of the governors Haley Barbour (Mississippi), Charlie Crist (Florida), Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota) and Bobby Jindal (LA), all of whom are attending the three-day meeting.
