Sarah Palin's powerful "First Dude" Todd Palin has exerted unusual influence on his wife's Alaska government. In Washington, their methods would do Bush and Cheney proud.
  • Eleanor's Role

    Todd Palin is no Eleanor Roosevelt and in 1921 Roosevelt contracted polio, and Eleanor stepped in because of his paralysis, and there was a genuine need. Todd is a conflict of interest because of his employment with the oil companies. Eleanor's passions was social needs and she became a viable and effective liason. Many have benefitted from Eleanor's intervenions, but the question is who is benefiting from Todd's intervention in state matters, especially with his strong arm tactics and intimidation? Please do not compare Eleanor Roosevelt to Todd Palin. I suggest that you read America A Narrative History by George Brown Tindall and David E. Shie, and one will find a wealth of informative data regarding Eleanor's role in the presidency.
