Since it’s been suggested that Todd Palin would be called ‘First Dude’ when Governor Palin gains the White House, I’d consider it a compliment to be called ‘dude’. ;)
Except for the fact I’m a girl. LOL
As for Governor Palin attacking McCain, somehow I don’t see her violating Reagan’s 11th Commandment.
Palin has fantastic political instincts and I doubt that she will "call out"/dump on McCain, now, or even in the future. She gains nothing positive by doing do.
