Motorcycle Forum / General / Snowmobiles / September 2008Todd Palin
McCain announced his pick for VP today and it was the surprise choice of the current Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin. The connection to RSS is that her husband, Todd Palin, is a professional snowmobile racer who has won the IronDog 2000 4 times. He's run Arctic Cats lately, but started out on Polaris, and ran Yamaha for one year. Let's say that she is elected VP, and that a VPs spouse gets Secret Service protection. Let's also say that he enters the 2009 IronDog. Do you suppose there are any competitive Secret Service snowmobile racers, or will they make Todd run a two-up sled with the Secret Service on the back. I don't know about that but... this may be a blessing for you in the US that are facing restricted or prohibited National Parks use for snowmobiles (a.go. Yellowstone). This is assuming her and McCain win the election. Apparently she is also an avid sledder. > McCain announced his pick for VP today and it was the surprise choice of > the current Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin.

I was kind of looking at McCain as the "lesser of two evils" right up until he picked Palin. Now it's "Game on!" for me. >I don't know about that but... this may be a blessing for you in the US >that are facing restricted or prohibited National Parks use for snowmobiles [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> or will they make Todd run a two-up sled with the Secret Service on the >> back. The dirt diggers have been hard at work... Her 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Kinda flies in her face since she is a pro-abstinence wonk. McCain may not have known about it until after picking her. Just give it time. More dirt to come (although I think family matters should be off limits). > I was kind of looking at McCain as the "lesser of two evils" right up > until he picked Palin. Now it's "Game on!" for me. [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>> or will they make Todd run a two-up sled with the Secret Service on the >>> back. Even the most conservative families have an "illegitimate" child somewhere on the tree... I would be really surprised if the daughter's poor judgment will reflect too negatively on the mother. It happens. The fact that she intends to keep the baby and marry the father goes a long, long way toward "smoothing" that whole thing over with most people, I think. I don't think Palin will convince many Obama supporters to vote republican... but I wouldn't be surprised to see a huge "bump" in voter turnout among sportsman and conservative women voters; plus she might just steal a whole boatload of Hillary supporters who hate the way the democrats treated her and have sworn not to vote for Obama. The women in my family have hunted and fished their whole lives... and while they might not identify with anything McCain has to say; I think they certainly will listen when Palin speaks. The "message" is only meaningful if you can get people to listen. >;-} > The dirt diggers have been hard at work... Her 17 year old daughter is > pregnant.

As far as her pregnant kid goes, at least she did not disown her or talk her into terminating. Shows an uncommon lot of charactor for a politican. I don't think she will sway many Hillary voters, but she will bring a lot of people out to vote. I'm in the same boat as you David > I was kind of looking at McCain as the "lesser of two evils" right up > until he picked Palin. Now it's "Game on!" for me. |
