Big interview with Todd Palin in Esquire Magazine. Surprisingly non-condescending.

If we're lucky enough to see a Republican win in November, there will be some discussion as to how to refer to Todd Palin. However, there is a precedent in Alaskan protocol, revealed in Time Magazine's interview with Sarah Palin:

My husband is a commercial fisherman. He also works up in the north slopes in the oil fields. I'm the first female governor in Alaska, so that's brought with it kind of a whole new chapter in Alaska's life. Like my husband — up here they refer to him as the "first dude," not the first gentleman. And Todd... And he is such a dude. He's a four-time winner of the Iron Dog snow machine race, which is the the world's longest and they say toughest snow machine race, 2,000 miles across Alaska.

So would that make Todd Palin "The Second Dude?" It does roll off the tongue.
