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.

He is so HOT!!!! (I can say this because my husband says the exact same thing about Mrs. Todd Palin)

I’m glad he’s going to be home more. I think his kids could use so more hands on time with their parents, they’ve been through so much already.

and that’s what it’s all about.

I thought the Hokey Pokey was what it's all about.

The GOP won’t have anything to do with it. Get ready for The Conservative Party of America. RINOs need not apply. We will still have a two party system but the GOP won’t be one of them. The RINOs will go to the Rats the true American Patriots will come to the CPOA. GO SARAH!

Yes, it is indeed. She’s beautiful, but looking at him just makes me feel those adolescent feelings.

Now I think this picture is adorable. Especially after the click!

Not Guilty.

God continue to bless the Palins.

Wow, we’ve got some lusty lady freepers around here!

Not Guilty.

Aren't we suppose to say "I'd hit it"?? Or better yet, an available one just like him can leave crumbs in my bed anytime. Dang he is hot, hot, hot.

[21twelve]

And boy - aren’t you glad you don’t live near the Palins! ;)

"Todd loved his union job on the Slope and hopes to return," Meghan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's personal spokeswoman

What difference does it make if it was a union job?

[dforest]

Yep, he is worth a few extra clicks!

I’d hit it. Oh my, I said it.

I Love FREEREPUBLIC!

Hey, I love FR too!

[Moonman62]

women are all ready in love with Todd.......he is a man’s man, comfortable in his own skin.....he would make a far better First Man than Bubba.

Better than Michelle, too.

It’s not coveting to admire the Almighty’s handiwork.
