Active Role for Palin’s Husband in Alaska Government ( Who really runs things? scary)

ANCHORAGE — In voting to issue a subpoena to Todd Palin in an investigation of the firing of the Alaska public safety commissioner, state lawmakers on Friday signaled that Mr. Palin, the husband of Gov. Sarah Palin, might have played a central role in one of the most contentious episodes of her governorship.

While that suggestion goes beyond the image presented of Mr. Palin during the Republican convention as a blue-collar family man and sportsman, it echoes a widely held understanding among lawmakers, state employees and lobbyists about Mr. Palin’s heavy engagement in state government.

In the small circle of advisers close to the governor, these people say, Mr. Palin is among the closest, and he plays an unpaid but central role in many aspects of the administration of Ms. Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president.

Mr. Palin’s involvement in the governor’s office has prompted an irreverent quip by some capital staff members when decisions are to be made that might affect the governor: “What would Todd do?”

This needs to be really played up. Who really runs the government? Who is she a stalking horse for besides the wingnuts we know and love so dearly?

Is the AIP or whatever the real hand in control and not Rove? WTF is going on? We may not be looking at the right group after all. The fundies in the

Rethug party may just be a cover. It's hard to believe, but there are people nuttier than some of them. It may not be a joke about the AK Guard and Russia. :wtf:

AIP...... :scared:

She ain't the boss of Todd and she better fuckin do as he says. So if he wants her to fire some joker, she gotta do it or she'll go to hell.

I can't wait for her to get elected and Todd gets pissed off at Canada or somethin. Sorry we blowed ya up, eh?
