Todd & Sarah Palin allegedly splitsville

Supposedly, the National Enquirer’s reporting of late last summer about a former Sarah Palin affair with Todd’s best friend, led to the marriage going on the skids. (The stories were never officially denied by the Palin Veep campaign after the Enquirer story hit the stand, and the mag has never been sued over the story.)

Several Alaska bloggers are already picking up on this. Immoral Minority says “Ms. Alaska” reportedly already has land in Montana. And, he’s right that this would explain her weight loss – the break-up stress. And you can note that she is not wearing a wedding ring these days, whether it sleeps with the fishes in an Alaskan lake or whatever.

Conservatives4Palin is already calling this “ridiculous rumors,” but, I think the shoes are on Sarah Palin’s and Meg Stapleton’s feet now.

To speak from the language of the police and criminal trial world:
1. Divorce “goes to motive” on why Palin quit;
2. Per the Immoral Minority post, marital stress would explain Sarah’s weight loss;
3. Todd Palin, beyond any affairs, might just really be First Dude for Alaska, and tired of the 50-state limelight, political chase, etc.

That all said, if this is true, then Sarah is the first female member of the GOP Pants Down Brigade. And, on a national scale, I don’t think she could be elected the GOP’s dogcatcher.

Even if she and Todd don’t actually file for divorce, if she lives in

And, I will also tackle in the future what this might mean re Trig, too.

That said, a note of caution. Folks like Conservatives4Palin are correct that rumors about Palin being under FBI investigation as the reason for her resignation panned out as zip, zilch, nada, and "Gryphon" of Immoral Minority was behind those rumors, too.
