Palin’s hubby and son not Republicans

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.

That's OK. She can always divorce one and disown the other.

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

The dims though, will make sure the sons’ ballot isn’t counted

“In some of these 57 united and mythical States”

There are 58 states. obambi said he hadn’t been to Alaska

...but I have voted straight GOP in every election, and when there is no Republican I write in the names of football players.

I write in myself... Who knows? It's happened before.

There are 58 states. obambi said he hadn’t been to Alaska

There were 60 states. In addition to the 57, he had one more (unnamed) to visit and his advisors told him he didn't need to go to Alaska or Hawaii.

Shouldn't the headline say,Palin's hubby and son not Democrats

The dims though, will make sure the sons’ ballot isn’t counted

Yeah, I have the same concern. I also vote absentee from an APO. I never know if that vote actually counts, but I do it anyway.

So Palin’s hubby is a Independent? Great! That should help pull in the ‘bitter clinger’ vote and those are the Hillary voters Palin will help with. She won't get the feminists, but she and her hubby won't have any trouble connecting with those swing state Democrats who ‘cling’ to their guns and religion.

Does OBIDEN believe they will not vote as Republicans?

Not your fault, the search function hasn’t worked since last weeks outage.
