DescriptionFearing additional losses in 2008 among their own ranks, Republican governors are trying to wrest control of the party’s re-branding campaign away from their Washington brethren.

The project is the brainchild of Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, who heads the Republican Governors Association. The way Perdue sees it, Washington Republicans haven’t even coined the campaign properly.

“I want to dispel you of the notion that I call this a re-branding campaign,” he said in a telephone interview. “I’m calling mine a ‘Do what you say you are going to do’ campaign.”

Next month, a small group of governors spearheading the effort will gather in Atlanta to begin exploring new policy positions on energy, conservation, education and health care that they believe are more attuned with public concerns and doable at the legislative level.
