Ping to the TODD PALIN IS A HUNK! list. Be still my heart! TUDD!
I surely want him as our First Gentleman.
Thank you for the thread, dear Onyx. I am just not up to it. We have an unbelievably slow internet, my laptop just died and I have had one of the worst migraines in years, going on four complete days now. The timing could not be worse. Well, yes, it could, but it isn’t really convenient now, either.
Yike! My thanks should be addressed to you. My apologies. Blame it on the migraine. Not thinking clearly. Yeah, that’s it. Please forgive me.
Go get it Todd!
I respect Todd Palin damn near as much as I do Sarah. he is the only spouse of a politician that I know of that has a real life. A real life, I admire.
My question is;
Would he leave Alaska for 4 or 8 years in Washington, should Sarah becomes President?

Congratulations to all the teams in this year's brutal Iron Dog! It's the world's longest and toughest snowmachine race 2200 miles across Alaska and Todd's been competing in it for 22 years. I made it home in time to join family and friends at the finish line in Fairbanks after having been at the CPAC convention in D.C. the day before where I had the honor of highlighting the United States Military and our veterans.
The Iron Dog trail was rugged; it sure tested the mettle of these athletes and the metal of their equipment in bone crunching conditions. Todd's Team #11 raced in honor of our vets who endure far worse in the name of securing our freedom. Again this year their cowlings proudly displayed the logo that reminds us of America's loyalty to Chris Kyle and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, knowing this can raise awareness and funds for this worthy cause to help wounded warriors (http://www.chriskylefrog.com).
Thank you, sponsors, for making this competition possible again including Polaris Outpost Alaska, Polaris Racing, StudBoy, Klim, Zugger Shocks, IceAge Performance, Al Palma, Big Lake Powersports, Riverboat Discovery, L&M Supplies, Doyon Limited, family and friends!
