In this year's 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog contest, Palin and racing partner Scott Davis were trying to defend their 2007 championship when Palin broke his arm in a crash. It was 400 miles from the finish line, but he refused to quit, coming in fourth, cheered on by the parka-clad governor waving a checkered flag.

What's on the dinner table most often in the Palin house?
TODD: Our favorite is moose hot dogs, caribou hot dogs. We get caribou, get ‘em ground up and put them into hot dogs. They're Polish.
McCain/Palin now has the all American coolness factor...fishing in Alaska, moose hot dogs, piloting a small airplane, husband champion snowmobiler (nickname “First Dude”)....that is so COOOOOL!!!!!
I can just picture the conversation now: Honey, you and the kids go on without me, I'm going hunting this weekend......
Mrs. Palin, why didn't your husband join you on stage when Senator McCain introduced you as his VP nomination?
Mrs. Palin: Oh, Todd went hunting this weekend........LOL!
Cute, sweet interview. Thanks for posting it.
