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.

    Better way to discredit Sarah

    Show the Republicans that she is not a real Christian Conservative:

    1. She tripled business taxes on oil companies; 2. Apparently, she piled up big debt for the town of Wassila while she was mayor; 3. She takes more federal handouts per citizen than any other Governor; 4. She vetoed an anti-gay-marriage law; 5. She caved in to an ACLU librarian, and allowed dangerous gay books to stay on her town's library shelves...

    What else can you add to this list? These kinds of things may cool off some of her voters. These are things she actually did, rather than vague extrapolations. Her voters like Todd. Keep the focus on Sarah.
