In the latest edition of Time, Michael Scherer has an article on Vice President Joe Biden's efforts "to ride herd on the stampede for dollars known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," and today at the Swampland, Scherer notes that:

One interesting fact that didn't make it into the story. Since March, Biden has talked, usually in conference calls, to dozens of mayors and 47 of the 50 state governors about the Recovery Act. The three governors who have not yet been on the line, though they have been invited: Alaska's Sarah Palin, Texas' Rick Perry and Louisiana's Bobby Jindal. You can draw your own conclusions.

We can also probably conclude that Mark Sanford would have made the list if he hadn't been busy milking his so-called rejection of the stimulus money for every drop of publicity he could get ... or hiking the Appalachian Trail.
