who elected todd?
"Testimony compiled as part of the inquiry, and The Times' own review of e-mail logs from the administration, show that Todd Palin was a fixture in the governor's office, spending about half of his time there," the Los Angeles Times says. "He attended Cabinet meetings that are supposed to be closed to the public, and was copied on a wide variety of high-level government correspondence on issues such as contract negotiations with the police officers union, Alaska Native issues and the privatization of a dairy near the Palins' hometown of Wasilla."
seems to me todd palin has undue access. does sarah need handholding? why would this be encourage or allowed?

…
The Branchflower report (PDF) adds a new detail or two that show just how warped Palin's crusade was. For instance, it turns out that Todd followed Wooten 100 miles off the road in order to secretly photograph him during the snow machine trip that supposedly disproved his worker's comp claims. (It didn't. The trip was actually pre-approved by Wooten's doctor.)
It also included this equally intrusive (and equally baseless) gem: that Wooten "had been seen" dropping his kids off at school in him patrol car at 8:01 a.m. Yes, the report notes the creepiness of the fact that the time is noted that precisely. And yes, it turns out that this activity, too, was pre-approved, this time by Wooten's supervisor. Crazy-ass Todd Palin appears to have spent an awful lot of time trying to frame Wooten up for "violations" that Wooten was actually meticulous about having pre-approved, don't you think?
And how about this one? Todd, Sarah and her dad had been after Wooten's job for some time already by the time election day 2006 rolled around, so this vendetta predated her gubernatorial victory. But check this bit out: Palin was elected on November 7, 2006. On November 8th, Todd called Wasilla Chief of Police John Glass to discuss Wooten. Remember, Wooten was a State Trooper, not a Wasilla municipal officer. Turns out, Palin was calling Glass to tell him what a bad guy Wooten was, and to say that he wanted to make sure Wooten was never hired onto the Wasilla force.
What does that tell you?
November 7th, Sarah Palin is elected governor. November 8th, Todd Palin is already trying to sabotage Trooper Wooten's next possible job. Sarah's been governor-elect for all of one day, and Todd's already licking his lips at the prospect of improperly using state government resources to fire him -- and to block him from working for anyone else, too.
This is one sick puppy, folks.

is there a law that spouses cannot give their spouse as much access to as many meetings as they want? i don't care if Todd was like a god. they are legal partners....i see nothing wrong with it...the people don't elect a lot of the president's top advisors that sit in on meetings, and they do not have to be confirmed. nancy reagan dressed ronald every day and told him who to trust and not trust, who to fire and not fire, and nobody complained.

yes. if the meeting is being held closed door, a member of the public is not allowed. todd was a member of the public.
i don't deny that spouses have influence. that's a given. however, it's a whole different ball game to bring them into the running of an administration - to allow them to sit in private meetings and route them sensitive emails.
we're electing the official. not the official's spouse. if the spouse wants access, let him or her run. let them dress and whisper, but keep them out of the statehouse.
