(Newser) – Sarah Palin spoke to several top Republicans in the weeks before her resignation, ABC News reports. An open-records request finds that in May, Palin was on the phone to Dick Cheney, Rudy Giuliani, and Charlie Crist, among others. A spokeswoman said that Cheney had been talking about an upcoming vacation in Alaska. Palin's office declined to comment on the conversations.
