Todd Palin is "right in there" behind Sarah/McCain on almost every stage. Who is he??
per wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Palin

"Gregg Erickson, columnist for the Anchorage Daily News, said that Palin "obviously plays an important role ... I've seen him in the governor's office, and I know she's conducted interviews in the governor's office with him present." Palin is copied on e-mails dealing with official state business. He helped write the state budget, has been involved in personnel matters, and has called lawmakers when he or his wife have disagreed with what they have done.<17>

Palin was a judge in the 2008 Miss Alaska pageant.<18>"


That page is very fluid - changing by the hour.

16. I'm sure he's perfectly nice until the drinking starts.
Todd looks like a drunken, dumb-as-a-stump ex-con to me. Has he done jail time?

Sarah lies and invokes her crazy god in the most irritating nails-on-a-blackboard screechy whine I have ever heard. The idea of having to listen to this silly low-rent shrew for four years is appalling.

The fact is, this whole family, including the gum-poppin' Bristol-banger and high-school dropout Levi, is about the most disgusting, unappealing group of weirdoes I can remember ever being thrust onto the national scene. Are there people who believe that this band of misfits and lowlifes actually represents America in some way?

OMFG. Maybe it does!

and he looks like a lot of the redneck, snowmobiling DEMOCRATIC dudes I know (who I also don't want anywhere near the WH)...

11. I think he needs to be there
to keep his eye on the creepy old guy who is always hanging around his wife. Frankl, I think it's pretty creepy that he never leaves her side.

23. It is McCain who should be keeping an eye on Todd, not the other way around.
You make it sound like he is there for some noble purpose, to protect his wife. The two of them have their own agenda, and they are both probably conspiring behind John McCain's back.

14. in their religion, the woman is one step behind the man, or some BS like that
.....I'm not making this up. Women are "below the man", and I guess he is keeping tabs on her. What I don't like is t hat he was heavily involved in running the state (of 700,000 souls), as if anyone couldn't do that.

He reminds me of that guy in Texas whose wife drowned their children. He gives me the creeps. Not sure why.

19. Her religion forbids a woman from presiding over men. That's why he's Shadow Gov.
I'm convinced that this is why she's rarely alone, and never alone with McCreepy.

Remember that basketball team from a fundy school who refused to play another team because it had a female coach for the boys team??? WOmen are not allowed to govern men, Todd is the shadow gov because her religion would not allow her to rule alone.

yeah, wasn't he said to be normally off somewhere snowmobiling and working in the oil fields
in the beginning of her vp nomination; now he can't leave her side or leave her out
of his sight.

37. If you had the choice of snowmobiling and getting away from her and the kids

for months at a time on the Northern Slopes,
what would you do?

I'd take working double overtime away from home
six months a year, with unlimited booze and flown
in hookers plus snowmobiling the other six months.

Anything to get away from her and that disgusting
family.

31. hmm..i think it could go either way....
either she's the mealticket, or, they could be like my roommate and her BF.

She's crazy, he's there to be codependent. Primarily because he doesn't know what else to do with himself.

33. A lot of us in Alaska think of him as an update of Ozzie Nelson from his 50s sitcom.
Not in the warm, friendly role model sense. In the sense that nobody's sure what he does for a living.

34. In my personal dealings with him, he's an asshole
I film a lot of political stuff in Alaska, and have been slowly working on a documentary project about Election Central for years. That is the place in Anchorage where everyone goes on election nights to watch the results come in and all the candidates show up and do interviews and everything.

I was filming on primary night when she beat the incumbent gov, and anytime I would get within 20 feet of Sarah, Todd would come over and put his chest or his back right in front of the lens of my camera. He kept telling me that I had all the footage I needed, and wouldn't let me get a shot of Sarah. A couple days before this I was out filming at a busy intersection with people from every campaign on different sides waving signs. I happened to be there to film at the same time a guy came up and stood next to her with a sign calling her an idiot. Her parents and Todd confronted me and accused me of being with the guy, which I wasn't and I explained that to them. Then they made a comment about the sign I had in my car which was for her opponent, so I took it out and they took pictures of me with the sign. Didn't think much of it, until that night when I couldn't get near her. They must have seen thousands of people in those couple days, but they remembered me and their percieved slight against Sarah. I was digging through my old tapes yesterday and found a few from that week, I'll have to see if I can find the footage of both incidents.
