The National Enquirer is reporting Gov. Sarah Palin had an extramarital affair. The story doesn't mention when the alleged affair happened.
My sources in Alaska say the incident occurred in mid 1990s, right around the time she became mayor of Wasilla. Todd Palin's partner in a Polaris snowmachine dealership in Wasilla, Brad Hanson Hampton, and Sarah were reportedly flirtatious and but never consummated the relationship.
When Todd found out, he reportedly dissolved the partnership and sold the dealership. Hampton is now a member of the Palmer City Council. He was married at the time of the reported flirtation.
Here's the response from the McCain people:
“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie. Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country. She is a proven leader, an accomplished executive, a champion for ethics reform, and a fighter against corruption. The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it.
“Senator McCain and Governor Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americans care about, fixing broken government, creating jobs, making our country energy independent and securing the peace for the next generation by bringing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a victorious end. Legal action will be considered with regard to this disgraceful smear.” – McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt.
There's a lot of criticism about the way the media is treating Sarah Palin. A national story on an almost-affair does raise questions about how much of Palin's personal life should be dragged out for public scrutiny. It certainly must be an uncomfortable time for the Palin family.
Does a decade old flirtation have news value in a presidential campaign?
*I've gotten reponses back saying the incident may have tested her relationship but she seems to have come out the other side in a stronger relationship.
i do believe you're right...
Tabloids are a business. NE figured they’d get a good bounce from this story.
I believe that the guy’s ex has denied that there was anything going on.
This just shows that the Obama people and tehir allies will stop at nothing in the practice of the politics of personal destruction against anyone who dares to disagree with their worldview or disturb thier coronation.
Do you have a link to that?
Do you have a link for that?
ridiculous but i think they claimed the same unsubstantiated stuff about Barry last month or so...
Geeezzz, there was a lot of political infidelities going on in the 90s. Cinton, Newt, Palin...
It have someting to do with the type of people that become politicians.
How many rapes, murders, sexual assaults and lines of Coke was Clinton tied to in the 13 years prior to becoming President — or the years while a President.?
How many folks have come forward and testified that Obama smoked crack and engaged in homosexual sodomy in the back of a cab?
If these clowns want to play by Chicago rules — there is going to be DNC blood all over the place...
“I think you’re the only one that thinks about Obama in a dress.” LOL! He wouldn’t need a female surrogate to go after Sarah. A little lipstick and nail polish to highlight his effeminate features, and he could challenge Sarah, woman to woman.
Seems odd that when Todd found out, he reportedly dissolved the partnership with Hampton and sold the dealership and possibly ended a longtime friendship with him. Seems an extreme act for a little "sort-of" flirtation. Hampton is now a member of the Palmer City Council.
But even if she were an out-right whore she would not even begin to raise herself to the level of whoredom of the other three candidates running for the White House.
Obama is the only person guilty of one of those "personal affairs", with himself.
I ment “emotional affair”.
I could have sworn Sarah blew me a kiss Wednesday night at the RNC. It’s another scandal!

Don’t be ridiculous, THE KISS WAS FOR ME, not you.
Do you realize that I work at home?....Ah-Ha.....Well, I work all the time, so never, never interrupt me. OK? Not if there's a fire! Not even if you a thud from my home, and one week later there is smell coming from it that can only be a decaying human body, and stench is so thick that you have to hold a hankie to face because you think you're gonna faint. Even then, Don't Knock!. Or if it's election night, and you're excited because some fudge-packer that you date got elected the first queer President of the United States,......And he's going to have you down to Camp David...and you want someone to share the moment with....Even then, don't knock. Not on this door! Not for any reason!.......Do you get me, Sweetheart?
