Dear AP: Learn about s-apostrophe

How many Republican governors are there? (Other than beyond the easy joke of "one too many.")

There's more than one, therefore it's the Republican Governors' Association and NOT the Governor's Association, no matter how much Rick Perry would like to be a one-man kingdom.

And, the RGA (sorry, but NOT providing a link) doesn't use an apostrophe at all, so now we have AP both using bad grammar AND making an incorrect citation.

Yeesh.
