Revisiting Pam Pryor, Sarah Palin's "Go-To Girl"

Oklahoman Pam Pryor is the subject of a Tulsa Today article, cross-posted at author Mike McCarville's blog, The McCarville Report:
Pryor's current national persona comes as the spokesperson for Palin's SarahPAC, launched by the former Alaska governor as part of her coalition-building effort across the country.

A member of Palin's team in 2008 says that Pryor today is Palin's "go-to girl. If Sarah has a doubt about anything, she talks to Pam. If Sarah wants to do something, she talks to Pam. Pam is a solid lock in Palin's future."
McCarville's piece quotes Texas for Sarah Palin from a profile of Ms. Pryor we published over six months ago:
"But the governor must has seen a kindred spirit in Pam Pryor, who may not be a fellow Alaskan, but she is a fellow evangelical. The Pryor resume includes more than 25 years in pubic relations and public affairs. She has worked in the area of government relations for non-profit organizations which were formed around the faith and community-based initiative. She has experience bringing faith and community groups together with government through the initiative by grant writing and introductions to government agencies and Congress."
While it's nice to see our work quoted, McCarville didn't get the name of our blog correct -- referring to us as "the Palin Texas website" -- and didn't link back to our original post. (Generous souls that we are, we gave Mike not one, but two links in this post.) Lest anyone be confused by his reference, Texas for Sarah Palin... 
"is not officially connected with, nor does it act as an agent for, former Governor Sarah Palin, SarahPAC or any political party or registered PAC..."
...as we state in our Obligatory Disclaimer. Though it would be nice to be on the Palin payroll, we aren't. This website, and its companion site The Book of Sarah, are both labors of love, as we are painfully reminded every time we check the old bank balance.

Update: Mike McCarville, a true Oklahoma gentleman, emailed us, apologized for what was nothing more than an oversight and corrected it. A tip of the old Stetson to this conscientious neighbor just to the north of Texas. Go Sooners, and gig 'em Aggies!
