7. I see it more like
a chief of staff role. Very common position, it's just rare that the politician has their spouse in that position. I bet Hillary was also influential with Bill Clinton.

2. Something is very strange about that guy. Can't put my finger on it,
but he reminds me of Ted Bundy.

4. Palin dominates Todd, not the other way around
Somehow I doubt it. From looking at her biography--be it the real one or even the whitewashed one Republicans peddle--it's clear that she's tenacious. It's clear she likes being in control. It's clear that she likes power and is very strong. She's quite the tomboy.

Todd, on the other hand, comes off as a total jock lunkhead, and somebody who's not even registered Republican. It's said he hasn't even voted, sans for his wife. It looks to me like he's completely disengaged.

If you ask me, it's probably the other way around. I doubt Palin would have nominated someone she couldn't dominate. I feel almost bad writing that, as it's a pretty personal accusation. But I feel it's true. Certainly more true than her being dominated by lunkhead Todd.

9. She confers with him on govt business. That is weird.
Will it be 'The Palins', like it was/is 'The Clintons'?

My sense of the couple is that they don't take things seriously, like it's all a game to them, just pure fun. Yeah, like starting war with Russia will be pure fun. They don't seem to see the consequences.

You want me to shoot a moose? Sure! sounds fun! You want me to run for VP? Sure! Sounds fun! Running for VP is fun, shaking all those hands is fun. They seem really shallow, like the stereotypical football player and cheerleader couple.

Inseparable stupidity.

11. Did you personally know Princess Diana? Why don't you compare her to a woman you know?
Is she even worth that comparison? Or does she cheapen their worth? We, as Americans, know more about Palin than we would ever know about Princess Diana. Just say, "What does Princess Diana have to do with me? She's not fit to lick the shoes of any sane woman."
