The AP reports that Todd Mitchell Palin is quite the man. He also happens to be quite the Mr. Mom and a great support for his wife Sarah. Is this the perfect modern family or what!
Husband of Veep Choice is Snowmobile Racer, by Rachel DOro
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – He’s known as a doting, blue-collar husband who stands on the sidelines as his wife blazes a historic trail in politics. *** But Todd Mitchell Palin can claim accomplishments beyond his marriage to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the surprise running mate of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain. *** Todd Palin is a veteran oil-field worker and commercial fisherman affectionately dubbed Alaska’s “first dude.” He’s a man who took college courses but does not have a degree, yet can hold his own in sophisticated circles, even hosting a reception for five former Alaska first ladies earlier this month. *** A father of five, he’s also a four-time winner of the world’s longest snowmobile race, billed as the most grueling. It’s a sport the 43-year-old lifelong Alaskan is so passionate about that he’s continued to compete even after his wife took office in December 2006. *** In this year’s 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog contest, Palin and racing partner Scott Davis were trying to defend their 2007 championship when Palin broke his arm in a crash. It was 400 miles from the finish line, but he refused to quit, coming in fourth, cheered on by the parka-clad governor waving a checkered flag.
