GOP govs tried a Palin ‘intervention’?

Hmm, I’ll bet that’s behind her talk about campaigning for conservative Democrats next year.

The New York Times story jumps right in, in medias res:

In late March, a senior official from the Republican Governors Association headed for Alaska on a secret mission. Sarah Palin was beset by such political and personal turmoil that some powerful supporters determined an intervention was needed to pull her governorship, and her national future, back from the brink.

It gets better there, as the “all about me” Quitter with a Twitter then says the seeds of her resignation were sown the day McCain tapped her as his Veep candidate.

Meanwhile…

Hope for the intervention’s success soon faded. Despite advice to stick close to home and focus on an Alaska agenda, the governor accepted an invitation to attend an anti-abortion dinner in Indiana in April, even though the state budget was hanging in the balance in the Legislature.

When Tom Wright, chief of staff for the speaker of the Alaska House, suggested that the governor would catch heat for leaving, Palin stormed into his office and, according to a person familiar with the conversation, “proceeded to ream him out.”

The whole story is on those lines.

Meanwhile, the LA Times weighs in on how many Republicans don’t want her campaign support.
