Todd Palin Photos: Pictures Of, Info On Sarah Palin's First Dude

Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin refers to her husband Todd as Alaska's "first dude," while he is technically the state's first gentleman. The union member, oil man and part Eskimo has stood by her as she ran for mayor, governor and now VP. The pair married in 1988.

Since the announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain's vice-presidential candidate, he's cropped his goatee, been to campaign rallies, showed his support at the RNC and goes to rallies with assorted Palin kids. Check back for more photos.

Latest polls show Sarah is more poluar than Obama......good times are here.

Yet another why I don"t trust these folks. The resume padding for even Todd. His official bio on the National Governor"s Association web page says: "The Palins were married in 1988, after college, and they have four children¦"

His Wikipedia entry says: "Todd Palin has taken some college courses but does not have a degree."

[mach]

"after college" doesnt equate to after graduation, maybe you should go back.

Can't someone please give Sarah Palin money for a haircut?

As reported in the Alaska podcast, the Anchorage newspaper and the "Independent", people in Alaska have several other terms for Todd and/or Sarah. Todd is also known as "The Shadow Governor" because he sits in on state meetings that should be attended only by the governor. He has had access to private office emails. He had Sarah fire an aide of hers because the aide had the audacity to date the ex-wife of a good friend of Todd's. People also call Todd and Sarah "the tag team".

Here's something more people should know about Sarah. She single-handedly allows cattlemen to pay $1.00 to graze their cattle not on their own land but on taxpayer-owned land which has been set aside as a hunting habitat for the Alaskan Gray Wolf. The cattlement and other hunters then enjoy "aerial hunting" which means they go up in small planes to participate in the "sport" of shooting wolves and then just leaving them where they fall. This comes as no surprise because Sarah was raised in a house that is full of dead, stuffed animals. Sarah is also no friend of polar bears, believing their habitat is better served for building roads and other services for the additional land she wants to use for drilling. Polar bears could be extinct within our children's lifespans. If the people elect Sarah, we can be sure of it.

For the record, grazing cattle on government land occurs virtually in every state.....BLM, USFS, military lans, etc. Of course you wouldnt need to know that, all your food comes from the grocery store, where you think its created, packaged and sold.

what a bunch of bleeding heart liberals

[bartonfink]

interesting point raised by other posters here. not suggesting anything, but why is todd palin never seen holding his child? sorry, maybe it's just the general vibe, but almost nothing about these people
seems straightforward...

[sg096]

it's always the"pregnant" daughter holding the baby and in the video it seems the the soon to be husband seemed very interest in that baby

be that as it may

All this is getting old and I am tired of Sarah Palin

[presto]

You've got to be kidding.

[OSuziQ]

There are photos everywhere with him holding his child? do you live in a cave?

[ceti]

Good looking dude. Isn't his mother voting for Obama?

[akw]

His mother is a staunch democrat. She hasn't said who she's voting for.

[SaltySaltillo]

MR ALASKA FIRST?

[zedthewizard]

yeah, when does this guy ever hold the baby. never, cause it's woman's work. the eldest daughter will be raising two kids . . .?

[janvier28]

Why am I never seeing this guy holding his baby?

[presto]

Maybe because you don't live with them.

[janvier28]

I don't quite follow your logic here Presto.

To answer your question, No, I do not live live with them. If I did I would be the black sheep of the group as I don't consider myself to be a F**** *n redneck and I am PRO CHOICE!!!

Do you live with them?

[Aby]

Message to John and Cindy McCain: You guys look really REALLY old next to Todd and Sarah Palin. Are you sure you want to work (and grow older) with them over the next four years?

[akw]

John and Cindy McCain have children in their teens and twenties. Get a grip!
