Should Sarah Palin still be addressed as Governor Palin since she quit her job in mid term?

My opinion is, no, she should not.
I think that no one should be addressed with such a title unless he/she is still in that office.

It’s tradition to be called by a political title long after you’re no longer in that position. A judge may always be called judge; senator, senator; governor, governor. Whether they deserve it or not is another question. Since Ms. Palin was only governor for half a term, I don’t think she deserves it either. Since I’ll never have the opportunity to call her anything, my opinion doesn’t really matter. I don’t think she’d like to hear what I call her in my imagination.

@Sunny2 is right.

What I don’t understand is why is she sometimes referred to as Ms. Palin. She is married, and Palin is her husband’s name. Therefore, it should be Mrs. Palin, or Ms. Heath, if she used her maiden name.

@bob_ Because Ms. can refer to any woman of any marital status – just like Mr. for men. It takes the focus off of her marital status, whereas Mrs. and Miss both make a point of it.

@Sunny2 I’m going to add that it’s tradition to not only call someone by a political title, but by the highest title they’ve received – so if a judge retires, but then comes out of retirement to take a city council position, you’d still refer to them as “judge” not “councilman”.

@MyNewtBoobs Good addition. Thanks.

It was amusing when Former Governor Jerry Brown became Mayor of Oakland, then was California’s Attorney General. They couldn’t figure out what to call him.
Now he is Gov again. Life made simple.
