ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The husband of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has quit his oil field job on the North Slope. Todd Palin's resignation as a production operator for oil giant BP PLC comes almost two months after his wife stepped down as Alaska governor and shortly before the release of her highly anticipated memoir in a deal rumored to be worth millions.
"Todd loved his union job on the Slope and hopes to return," Meghan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's personal spokeswoman, said in an e-mail Friday. "For now, he is spending time with his family."
The resignation was effective Sept. 18, according to BP spokesman Steve Rinehart.
In addition to working on the North Slope, Todd Palin was a commercial fisherman and for years has participated in the world's longest snowmobile race, the Iron Dog. He was unofficially referred to as the "First Dude" and also took part in official duties, such as hosting a tea for former first ladies of the state.

it is obvious that she is running for the Presidency
Todd Palin
He has 7-10 Million reasons to quit. Let some other guy have a job. He may be traveling in the near future??
Pray for America and Gov Palin
Looks like Todd will be Sarah’s official escort when she goes on her speaking engagements.
But wait, Levi Johnston said the Palin Divorce is due by the end of this year.
No it’s just obvious that their personal wealth is now vast enough that neither of them will have to ever hold a job again. Nothing more.
His wife will be pulling down seven or eight figures on her book royalties. I don’t think he needs the job.
One of the rare times when somebody who says he’s quitting to spend more time with his family...actually will be spending more time with his family.
Yup...he’s needed at home, and with his family more now. His lifes purpose has probably changed a bit in the last year!
He is going to be busy watching the kids while Sarah stumps in the lower 48.
Todd Palin-American. Would make a GREAT First Dude!
That means something is going to happen.
Is that Trig? cute!
That picture is adorable.
That means something is already happening.
Look’s like a very happy little child to me, and that’s what it’s all about.
Great picture.
Should make all Dads smile remembering “the shoulders carry” and especially the “hands over the eyes” grip of their little ones.
Thanks for posting it. Made me smile.
How I love the First Dude.
Blessings to the Palin Family.
I soooo agree!!
*sigh* Whatta hunk 'o man!
