..............He has supervised renovations to the governor’s mansion and hopscotched by plane back and forth to Juneau to juggle duties as father and “First Dude,” as he has come to be known. And to a degree that has surprised many state government observers, Todd Palin also has become involved in policy, sitting in on his wife’s meetings, traveling on state business and weighing in on some legislative issues. ..........................
Now, substitute Hillary for Todd; wife for husband; and BINGO we have the perfect spouse that was a heartbeat away from power!
You know I really don’t have a problem when an elected official relies on their spouse as an advisor. Even when the Clintons did it I didn’t care. (Well, I did only because Hillary is just horrendous) But I don’t have a problem with it. Presidents, governors, etc. can use whoever they like as advisors. It’s the actual character and policies of the advisor I care about.
