He's known as a doting, blue-collar husband who stands on the sidelines as his wife blazes a historic trail in politics.
But Todd Mitchell Palin can claim accomplishments beyond his marriage to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the surprise running mate of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain.
Todd Palin is a veteran oil-field worker and commercial fisherman affectionately dubbed Alaska's "first dude." He's a man who took college courses but does not have a degree, yet can hold his own in sophisticated circles, even hosting a reception for five former Alaska first ladies earlier this month.

What a good-looking family!
The Palins seem like people you want to have over for beers and burgers. Such a huge contrast to politicians that dominate the news and occupy DC.
The youngest daughter has that “Dennis the menace” look on her face
PRICELESS!!!
I have to admit
I have fallen in love with their oldest daughter.
...to be young again.
Only I see McCain going with him....McCain has found youthful exuberance with the all American man going moose hunting, small airplane flying, and snowmobile riding with the first dude....
Could you imagine them flying together with Palin at the controls and McCain giving him advice on SAM suppression?
First Dude! LOL! Dat’s a good one.
I’m willing to bet he is eventually going to be America’s first “First Dude”. That’s after Cindy McCain serves as America’s First Lady.
So NOT guilty!
:)
No wonder she has five kids, eh?
I know where she can get hold of a Fat Boy if she's interested. (:^o)
Cute, sweet interview. Thanks for posting it.
Straight out of Hans Brinker--and remember: Hans got the gold in the end!
Maybe the emergence of these two people onto the world stage will help knock some sense into our beloved friends in the Netherlands--and everywhere else--and bring them back to reality.
I looked up Dillingham and Wasilla on the map.
Dillingham's way out west, sort of on Bristol Bay. How cool is that! --though cool is hardly the word when you're talking about Alaka. I guess he does do the Iron Dog! That's how you get around up there.
Wasilla's just outside of Anchorage; so I expect everybody's urbane and citified--by Alaska standards, I mean.
I told my wife we've gotta go to Alaska! I feel the call of the wild!
I’d get Todd out on the trail with the kids for the youth vote.
He may well take it out from under Bambi, the guy is first rate cool, youth voters are gonna love him.
You know what folks.
I think the republican party has found what I can only describe as its own electorally votable Republican version of the Clintons in reverse (ironic is’nt it). These guys are going to all over the news. We have found a family that could easily be electable on a huge huge scale and they are patriot dye in the wool Americans. Say hello to the next 8 to 16 yrs in the WH.
These hardy, self-reliant Alaskans—taking on and even prevailing over The Last Frontier (he finished the last 400 miles of the Iron Dog with a broken arm) have already made a mockery of the whining victims—who need a village to raise a child—of the degenerate, decadent Left and their sociopathic leaders who keep them mired in victimology and convinced that they are eternally needy and incapable of self-reliance.
