Is it wrong to have a serious crush on the “First Dude” of Alaska and the future Second Gentleman of the United States? Because if crushing on Todd Palin is wrong, then man, we do not want to be right.

We just want to listen to him talk about snowmachines and huskies and hockey for hours and hours and hours.

When we met him in St. Louis the weekend of Palin’s announcement as VP, we couldn’t even talk, we just kind of giggled and stared and the only thought in our head was TODD. TODD. Oh, it was stupefying…and it made the 8 hour ride down from Chicago totally worth it.

And now we’re Mapquesting how long it would take to get to Maine, because Todd Palin’s being dispatched to campaign there. He’s just so DREAMY. And Maine’s so lovely this time of year. All the more lovely because TODD is there.
