Palin’s hubby and son not Republicans

Politico ^ | 29 August 2008 | KENNETH P. VOGEL

Democrats may be blasting Sarah Palin as a doctrinaire conservative, and Republicans may be embracing her for the same reason, but her husband and oldest son are independents.

Or, more precisely, their party affiliation is listed as “undeclared” on voter registration records retrieved from the Alaska Division of Elections.

Todd Palin, husband of the Alaska governor, hasn’t been affiliated with a party since he first registered to vote while he was in his early 20s, in 1989 — the year after he married Sarah Palin. And Track Palin, their 19-year-old son, registered as undeclared when he became eligible to vote last year.

Todd Palin, a regular voter, could have cast his ballot for his wife in her 2006 Republican primary against incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski because the Alaska Republican Party allows those registered undeclared and “nonpartisan” to vote in the party’s primaries.

Another hit job from the Politico. They could’ve characterized them as “mavericks”. (Who are these clowns?)

“File this under “So What”....”

Thanks for that. EXACTLY what I was going to post.

Rove licks his whiskers again. Brilliant timing, brilliant VP candidate. Substance trumps style in just the right amount.

If Obama was afraid of Hillary, and he was, just imagine how terrifying Palin looks to him. No woman who listened to her speech yesterday could have any doubt that Sarah would dust the floor with Barak in any match up. “And while you’re at it, zip your parka and close the door on the way out, Barak.” For that matter, she’d dust the floor with the entire CNN newsroom.

She’s formidable.

Oh what fun.

I have not seen such a stinking steaming pile of crap headline get so much circulation since the Bigfoot body found story hit the headlines.

We are talking about declaring yourself undeclared or nonpartisan in a primary. Millions of Republicans do this, and often in protest of having to declare a party in the Primary. Heck I’ve done it.

Actually this may help the McCain Palin ticket.
Game on.

Being Alaskan, working both in the oil fields and fishing the rough Alaskan waters, any spare time he is out hunting and racing snowmobiles, I suspect Todd has no interest in politics and noting how close they are as a couple, he definitely supports her in every way, even in the voting booth.

overnight they found the voter records of her husband and son and a year later bams’ birth certificate proves ellusive......ROTFLMAO!!!

In some of these 57 united and mythical States there is no personal identification by any political party, eligible people are called voters. Of course, some of these states are often criticized by travelers from far off places like Minnesota, for not having enough laws or taxes. Some of these states wish to remain anonymous.

Nothing wrong with being registered as “undeclared”. I was registered the same way from high school (1st Ronald Maximus) until the second Clintigula election and voted the for the right man (’publican) every time.

It’s not that they are not Republicans, I don’t think they are very political.

Damn how stupid these RATS are. Who cares? Who do you think they will vote for? Nitwits are desperate to dig something up. Lots of luck, RATS.

After McCain's pick and now appearing to be a masterstroke, I can't help but repeat the oft repeated ..

Rove, you magnificent bastard !

[MichiganConservative]

I imagine Palin's son and hubby will be voting Republican this year. ;-)

I would bet that that is not what the MSM is trying to get people to think.

Whey do people listen to the MSM. They really are very stupid and ignorant people.

[therut]

This does not matter at all. State are all different. In Arkansas there is no party registration. Everyone is an independent.

[Liberty Valance]

Excellent point! So excellent in fact, it bears bold repeating...

"overnight they found the voter records of her husband and son and a year later bams’ birth certificate proves ellusive......ROTFLMAO!!!"

[popdonnelly]

“but her husband and oldest son are independents.”

And?

[blackie]

It doesn’t matter at all!

I’m a registered Independent and I’m a conservative!!

Be Ever Vigilant!!

[popdonnelly]

Who, among the Democrats, did Mr. Vogel call to get this piece of information?

[libh8er]

Her husband is a member of the United Steelworkers Union.

He might be just the guy to make (non political) speeches in W. Va. He will bond with them well and Hussein would be wise not to waste any money there.
