Sarah Palin ‘affair’: big media stays quiet as ‘lover’ named
While America's respectable media focus on John McCain's acceptance speech to the Republican faithful, blogs and gossip sites continue to lead the feeding frenzy surrounding the National Enquirer's allegation, reported here yesterday, that McCain's running mate Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner.
Alaskan Abroad, the blog of an Alaskan journalist, reports that the allegation refers to the time when Palin became mayor of Wasilla in the mid-1990s. Palin's husband Todd owned a snowmobile dealership with his business partner Brad Hanson. Apparently Hanson, who was also married, and Sarah got on famously; Alaskan Abroad's sources say the two were "flirtatious but never consummated the relationship".
"When Todd found out, he reportedly dissolved the partnership and sold the dealership. Hanson is now a member of the Palmer City Council."
The Enquirer's own anonymous source claims there was an affair. The paper reports: "Todd discovered the affair and quickly dissolved his friendship and business associations with the guy. Many people in Alaska are talking about the rumour and say Todd swept it under the rug."

Those are creditable! You people would do anything to try and ruin a good person.
MAKES ME SICK
City Councilman Brad Hanson of Palmer, Alaska is the former business partner of Todd Palin. Palin and Hanson co-owned a snowmobile dealership in Wasilla, Alaska called Valley Polaris. Shortly after Sarah Palin was chosen as the Republican vice presidential nominee, the National Enquirer was threatened with a lawsuit after they alleged that Palin had an affair with her husband's "business partner."
The ex-wife of a man said to have had an affair with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells it's "absolutely, completely false."
"I can tell you this with 1,000 percent certainty, Sarah Palin never had an affair," said Debbie Richter when reached on Friday afternoon.
The rumor that her now ex-husband, Scott Richter, had an affair with Sarah Palin gained momentum after the National Enquirer reported she had been romantically involved with one of Todd Palin's former business associates.

We dont all do it.
My problem is she is representing herself as a moral, religious, family values person, and if this is true, she is not living up to the standards she is promising the right wing she will fight to protect.

The interesting thing is that it is the members who initiate the most irrelevant rumor threads about one candidate who act the most indignant when it happens to their guy/girl.

My replies.
1 She has an affair with her Lieutant Gov. She was pregnant from Sept. 2007 to April of 2008 during this time as well. She became Gov. in Dec of 2006. So in I stated someone from the staff, no name or position the person worked.
To date TMZ is currently negotiating a pay off for this person to come forward with his video evidence of his love affair with our new candidate for vice presidency Sarah Palin. Thus far the person is known to be part of Sean Parnell's staff who you might know as her running mate for Alaska.
2. She lets him film them having sex during said affair.Who doesnt have themselves filed in the act? She killed a moose on camera. are you saying killing an anmial is ok but sex is not?
See #1, you did identify the person as her running mate, which would be Sean.
3. She pays him off to "keep quiet". Even though he would become Gov.I did not say it was SEAN in the affair
4. He is of such great moral character that he decides instead of taking the "hush money" to auction it off to the highest bidder.Wouldnt you do the same?
Huh? only if McCain were a Democrat, they seem to think affairs are a badge of honor or rite of passage.
5. Palin conviently forgets to mention anything of the affair to McCain's Camp, even after the John Edwards fiasco.This will only help McCain more then it could hurt.
Oh I see, just giving your own personal spin to the events, how silly of me to not take it as an accusation by you.
6. Perhaps her latest child is a "love child" Could be, i was merely writing my thoughts down on that one
