Does he have a job? Where will he be if she ever becomes president? He is as scary as she is!!! Maybe more so -

1. I'm really believing that HE is the (little) brain behind her and is very controlling and scary as
you feel...

16. The weird one that triggered me,McCainPalin laying flowers at some memorial this week, and so did HE
It as a weird video I only caught with the sound down so I wasn't sure what it was for, but it as a rather large wall memorial and seemed petty solemn, but right thee with the both of them was Todd laying a bouquet also and I remember saying to myself WTF?

Cindy wasn't out there, then it would have maybe been appropriate and then I went well wait, have I seen Joes wife out there like that and I started noticing he is never more than a few steps from her and watching his behavior, its not protective, like another secret service guy kind of behavior watching out for a crazy or something that would make sense in some way, BUT NO his focus is on HER and his Body Language is of intervening and imposing a controlled environment on her actions and space.

It just didnt seem right.

22. I think
that he making sure she isn't screwing around. The appearance is that he is always there keeping an eye on her, very creepy and controlling. Maybe he's concerned about gramps making a move on her.

Or perhaps it is just a good way to avoid testifying in troopergate.Thanks for the subpoena, but I'm a bit busy now.

27. Todd has a great interest in her being elected...
...so his Alaskan Independence Party can make Alaska its own nation and make the US at their mercy for oil.... I could say sarcasm here...but instead, call me paranoid

28. Thats the one, it just seemed so weird that he was there with them.
He is constantly there. Ive seen him almost more than flags over John McCains shoulder all week.

And it was Todd that McCains spokesman spoke for in the troopergate thing.

The spokesman said "Todd doesn't feel the investigation is on the right track"
or something like that paraphrasing, but it wasn't Mr Palin it was Todd and again a WTF moment.

3. He seems to be a guy whose wife is applying to be a heartbeat from
the presidency of a country he wants to secede from.

Your typical American story, really.

5. Somewhere I read , and I don't have the link, that he is an eight or sixteenth Yupic
and has full enrollment in the tribe. Also understand the tribe has lots of oil money.

7. Sounds right. Especially the money part.
Todd strikes me as a guy who knows bank hours from one end of the state to the other.

12. Hey Tom. Good to see you! I like the numbers coming in so
far for our ticket and I hope it floods the down-ballot races too.

The bluer the better.

You enjoy this weekend out there in that very, very beautiful state of yours.

14. Not.
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 02:37 AM by nod4rod
He's not all that. At least not enough for "oil money."

There apparently is some Yup'ik blood, but not enough to GET anything of consequence from it. So apparently he can't be bothered.

It's just enough to give her some cover when trampling on Alaska Natives.

13. Hi, OC.
Hey, doncha l-o-v-e our governor?? All I've got to say is that Alaska owes John McCain a HUGE debt of gratitude for making her his running mate and exposing all of her secrets. We didn't know, honest. The lady will be in big trouble when she returns.

Check out this funny story I just posted. It'll crack you up. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7126617&mesg_id=7126617

29. Hi, Blue_in_AK, and thank you for that link.
In the rush of things I had missed it. Excellent stuff.

We don't blame Alaska for Todd and Sarah.

Unfortunately their attitudes are found in just about any Congressional district in the country.

On the plus side of the news, though, the Palin "bounce" appears to be over with and voters seem to be returning to a more serious approach to the election. McCain's staffers who pushed Palin must be deflated long about now.

6. We don't know a whole lot about him so far, but likely will in
coming days.

There's more than a hint of the pugnacious hothead in him.

17. Todd looks like trailer trash to me.
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 06:54 AM by mwb970
He looks like a guy who would be drunk most of the time, wearing a wifebeater shirt and cursing at the TV while watching NASCAR or a boxing match.

The entire Palin family strikes me as a bunch of "low rent" losers elevated to undeserved heights by the vagaries of weird Alaska politics. Why we would want uncultured redneck yahoos like this in the White House I can't imagine. And the wingnuts called Bill Clinton "Bubba"!

Palin = Trash

23. What bothers me is the 1000 yard stare.
Always looking for something/someone to kill or something/someone coming to kill him.

25. He's her spiritual leader, if I understand AoG doctrine correctly.
And since her alleged faith allegedly colors everything she allegedly does, that would make him a sort of shadow Governor.
