Shadow Governor?Andrew Halcro.comIn the aftermath of the Walt Monegan firing, one question keeps surfacing over and over again; why does the governor's husband, Todd Palin appear to hold so much power?
After all, Nancy Murkowski or Susan Knowles were never accused of pressuring a commissioner or inappropriately sitting in on meetings that should have been private. The stories started last year when Representative Ralph Samuels told me about going into a meeting, he thought would be private, with Governor Sarah Palin.
Much to his surprise, Todd Palin was there and proceeded to sit through the entire meeting.
Other lawmakers have shared similar stories and were shocked at how inappropriate Todd's presence was at meetings with the governor. Yesterday on the Dan Fagan Show, Representative Jay Ramras mentioned that Todd was working lawmakers offices during the ACES debate.

Confidential EmailsThe most alarming indication of Todd Palin's reach into state government came just yesterday. Last month, a group of Alaskans filed a freedom of information act for emails sent from the computers of both Frank Bailey and Ivey Frye. Along with several boxes of documents,
they received a cover letter along with 78 pages detailing the emails that were not released due to "Deliberative Process and Executive Privilege". The serious concern about these emails is that they were prohibited from being released to the public due to executive privilege, even though Todd Palin was copied on these same emails. Todd Palin is not a member of the executive branch, nor is he even a government employee. Todd Palin is a member of the general public.http://www.andrewhalcro.com/shadow_governor">MORE
- Well, given that http://religionblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/08/is-sarah-palin-the-first-pente.html">Sarah Palin is a member of the Assemblies of God Church, I can understand why Todd sits in on all her meetings and is copied all of her emails. The title of Governor of Alaska for Sarah Palin is really just a ceremonial title, since All women in the Assemblies of God Church must under all circumstances OBEY their husbands and cannot UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES make any decisions without THEIR HUSBAND'S APPROVAL.
So here's a question I'd like for Gwen Ifill to ask during the VP debates: Sarah, who is the REAL Governor of Alaska???==============================================================================
