Republican governors meet in Georgia

Governor Sonny Perdue has welcomed his Republican counterparts to the state this week. The Republican Governors Association is meeting in Atlanta. The gathering also brings together some potential vice presidential candidates on the GOP side--Perdue has been mentioned in some quarters, as has Florida’s Charlie Crist, and Minnesota’s Tim Pawlenty. Perdue and Crist have had their differences over water issues in Georgia and Florida, but the two were together to take in a ballgame last night. They attended the Atlanta Braves game, both throwing out ceremonial first pitches.
