Deception and tricks are nothing new coming from the Republicans. However, it's perfectly clear, at least to me, that we've all been duped, again, by John McCain and the Republicans. Alaskans have been fooled as well. After reading all 263 pages of the publicly released, Sarah/Todd Palin abuse-of-power report, and taking into account all that we now know of Sarah and Todd since McCain put her front and center in his presidential campaign, I've come to some frightening conclusions. The real Governor of Alaska is not Sara Palin. Furthermore, Sarah Palin is not McCain's real candidate for vice-president.

The real Governor of Alaska and John McCain's candidate for vice-president is Todd Palin.

I know it's far fetched. But, I believe Sarah is little more than the cute public face with hair extensions, facial ticks, and over-priced eyewear. According to comments made by Sarah's debate coaches, the woman's attention span is only good for about 30 minutes. Maybe her inability to concentrate explains the 5 or 6 universities she attended before earning a degree.

After she took office in 2006, Todd Palin attended 4 out of 13 cabinet meetings (maybe more). This is the same man who spent half of his time in the Governor's office. That's highly unusual given the fact that previous Alaskan First Ladies never spent that much time in their husbands' office. Instead, they put their energies into more traditional work like charities and such. From the report, it seems the First Gentleman of Alaska had almost as much interaction with the Governor's staff as did the Governor. I guess since Sarah's attention span is so poor, and it takes a lot of her time to be cute, somebody had to pick up the slack and it looks like it's been Todd Palin.

So, it may be far fetched, but it looks to me like Todd Palin is the real Governor of Alaska and Republican candidate for vice-president. Sarah's just the public face. This concept is nothing new. After all, we already have a figure head President, George W. Bush. Everybody knows the real President is Dick Cheney.
