BANGOR DAILY NEWS PHOTO BY BRIDGET BROWNTodd Palin (center) chats with WVII ABC-7/Fox 22 anchor Cindy Michaels (left) after signing a side-by-side photograph of Michaels and Palin's wife, Sarah, on Saturday at Moosehead Trail Trading Post in Palmyra. Upon meeting Michaels, Palin turned to his friend and four-time Iditarod champion Martin Buser (right) who was traveling with him from Alaska, and said, "That's pretty close, huh, Martin?"
PALMYRA, Maine — Alaska’s “First Dude” Todd Palin received an enthusiastic welcome to Maine Saturday afternoon while attending a barbecue and pressing the flesh at the Moosehead Trading Post.
Palin, husband of Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, apparently prefers the “First Dude” moniker, as many of the women in the estimated crowd of 500 that filled the trading post’s parking lot in anticipation of pallin’ around with Palin, were wearing pink sweat shirts emblazoned with the phrase “Maine’s 2nd District welcomes Alaska’s 1st Dude.”
Palin wasn’t on hand to give a formal political speech, but he did say a few words about his wife, Sarah, and Republican presidential candidate John McCain before wading into the crowd to shake hands and sign autographs.
Political observers believe McCain has a chance to win the state’s electoral vote from Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. Palin’s visit to Central Maine and another planned for Presque Isle on Sunday were scheduled to take advantage of that possibility.

The Obamanoids can’t stand to see a happy Conservative.
Todd is my kinda first dude :)
What’s not to love??
If anyone would like to be added to the TODD PALIN IS A HUNK! ping list, please let know.
It’s noteworthy here that Maine allows splitting the electoral vote by Congressional district, so McCain could win votes without winning the whole state.
I find it really interesting the following that the “first dude” is generating. It may not be much in the grand scheme of things, but to metrosexuals, real men and apparently strong women alike, he’s a champion of sorts.
Add me.

Is that new?
That’s very cool that the first dude is out there working it, too.
The Palins strike me as normal people who could very easily be my neighbors. I suppose it is this characteristic strikes me as a vote against them for holding national office.

He is the literal everyday Joe.
I want to be on your list.

They need to send Todd Palin to blue collar union areas as much as possible in the next three weeks. He could become a “wonder weapon” that could tip the election to McCain/Palin.
Joe Biden is blue collar? Yeah right. Todd is the real thing.
