Mac is Jealous - McCain left off Palin's name on his list of future GOP leaders

(CNN) — Did John McCain snub Sarah Palin during an appearance Monday on NBC’s The Tonight Show? That’s what some pro-Palin bloggers and other political observers claim after the former GOP presidential candidate left out his former running mate when naming five governors who he thought were in position to lead the Republican Party. “We have, I’m happy to say, a lot of voices out there,” McCain told host Jay Leno before listing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Utah Gov. Jim Huntsman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. “There are a lot of governors out there who are young and dynamic,” said the Arizona senator. McCain then quickly joked, “I’ve left out somebody’s name and I’m going to hear about it.” Criticism of McCain’s comments are particularly fierce at TeamSarah.org, a blogging Web site for Palin supporters. “McCain, who screwed up his campaign by not voting against the bailout, can’t mention Sarah’s name on Leno? It hurts the party and it makes him look bad by dissing her a 3rd time,” wrote one blogger. “Maybe it’s a good thing he didn’t become president.
