| More recently, she has come under the scrutiny of an investigation by the Republican-controlled legislature into the possibility that she ordered the dismissal of Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state trooper.
Palin has a long history of run-ins with the Alaska GOP hierarchy, giving her genuine maverick status and reformer credentials that could complement McCain's image. Her husband, Todd Palin, is part Yup'ik Eskimo, and is a blue-collar North Slope oil worker who competes in the Iron Dog, a 1,900-mile snowmobile race. The couple lives in Wasilla. They have five children, the youngest of whom was born in April with Down syndrome.
Sounds like she aint gonna take shit from anybody.whatever the prob was with the brother-in-law I'm sure the McCain people vetted her like she was x Soviet KGB so there is not going to be a silver bullet.
What a resume: a hockey mum turned Governor, Macho union husband champion of an Alkaskan grueling dog sled race numerous times , mother of five kids one has Down Syndrome; big Pro-life testament..every life has meaning. oldest son volunteered to serve his country in a time of need...this woman is a winner and quite cute too..really cute compared to the dried old hack H. |
