ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The husband of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has quit his oil field job on the North Slope. Todd Palin's resignation as a production operator for oil giant BP PLC comes almost two months after his wife stepped down as Alaska governor and shortly before the release of her highly anticipated memoir in a deal rumored to be worth millions.
"Todd loved his union job on the Slope and hopes to return," Meghan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's personal spokeswoman, said in an e-mail Friday. "For now, he is spending time with his family."
The resignation was effective Sept. 18, according to BP spokesman Steve Rinehart.
In addition to working on the North Slope, Todd Palin was a commercial fisherman and for years has participated in the world's longest snowmobile race, the Iron Dog. He was unofficially referred to as the "First Dude" and also took part in official duties, such as hosting a tea for former first ladies of the state.

it is obvious that she is running for the Presidency
Todd Palin
He has 7-10 Million reasons to quit. Let some other guy have a job. He may be traveling in the near future??
Pray for America and Gov Palin
Looks like Todd will be Sarah’s official escort when she goes on her speaking engagements.
But wait, Levi Johnston said the Palin Divorce is due by the end of this year.
No it’s just obvious that their personal wealth is now vast enough that neither of them will have to ever hold a job again. Nothing more.
His wife will be pulling down seven or eight figures on her book royalties. I don’t think he needs the job.
One of the rare times when somebody who says he’s quitting to spend more time with his family...actually will be spending more time with his family.
Yup...he’s needed at home, and with his family more now. His lifes purpose has probably changed a bit in the last year!
He is going to be busy watching the kids while Sarah stumps in the lower 48.
Todd Palin-American. Would make a GREAT First Dude!
That means something is going to happen.
Is that Trig? cute!
That picture is adorable.
That means something is already happening.
Look’s like a very happy little child to me, and that’s what it’s all about.
Great picture.
Should make all Dads smile remembering “the shoulders carry” and especially the “hands over the eyes” grip of their little ones.
Thanks for posting it. Made me smile.
How I love the First Dude.
Blessings to the Palin Family.
I soooo agree!!
*sigh* Whatta hunk 'o man!
Look at how quickly their little one is growing! I’d want to spend 24/7 with him. :)
Anyway, back to the liberal spewing:
Todd is a QUITTER! *SARCASM*
Seriously - this guy left a UNION job? This is going to drive the left ‘round the bend, LOL!
Take Putin out moose hunting.
Gosh the baby is getting so big.
I am confused I thought he quit the oil jobs when she was Governor so She could negotiate in good faith with the oil companies.
likely
How sweet is their baby? Love him, he is so cute!
and doing it right! woo hoo!!!

He did then but went back to work later.
If Todd kept working the government would probably take all his earnings as taxes ;even if he made $200,000 that is dwarfed by Sarah’s $7 million.
This is an awesome picture! I really want to see Sullivan regurgitate his crap about Trig in his face.
She got the 7 million, has sold over 1 million books in pre orders why, why should he work.....help the lady with the kids while she runs the country....
It takes a strong man to be in his position, and he will be a hero to women across the planet
My friend worked in the same company as Todd.
He said the intracompany contact information has been disabled since September 2008 and it’s likely Todd has not worked on the North Slope for over a year.
that’s some nice eyecandy........(swoon)
women are all ready in love with Todd.......he is a man’s man, comfortable in his own skin.....he would make a far better First Man than Bubba.
everyone who has ever run for president has written a book....
Sarah has now checked that off her to do list.
Oh, sure. Give the Palins all the attention. Where was AP when I quit my job of 25 years to design websites full time? I seem to have missed the headlines.
Living well is the best revenge.
The future first gentleman worked hard and well in the oil fields. Now, on to 2012. . . . . .
He is so HOT!!!! (I can say this because my husband says the exact same thing about Mrs. Todd Palin)
I’m glad he’s going to be home more. I think his kids could use so more hands on time with their parents, they’ve been through so much already.
I thought the Hokey Pokey was what it's all about.
“That picture is adorable.”
You betcha! And I’m glad we didn’t have to cite the rules on a Palin family thread :-)

The GOP won’t have anything to do with it. Get ready for The Conservative Party of America. RINOs need not apply. We will still have a two party system but the GOP won’t be one of them. The RINOs will go to the Rats the true American Patriots will come to the CPOA. GO SARAH!
Yes, it is indeed. She’s beautiful, but looking at him just makes me feel those adolescent feelings.
Now I think this picture is adorable. Especially after the click!
Not Guilty.
God continue to bless the Palins.
Wow, we’ve got some lusty lady freepers around here!
I Love FREEREPUBLIC!
