Todd Palin Hospitalized, Sarah Leaves Florida

Source: Daily Beast

Sarah Palin cancelled a Donald Trump campaign event Monday in Florida after her husband Todd Palin was hospitalized following a serious accident. "The event scheduled for Governor Sarah Palin to take place today in The Villages, Florida at 12:00 PM, has been cancelled," the Trump camp's statement read. "Governor Palin wishes her best to Mr. Trump in the upcoming primaries." NBC News reported shortly thereafter: "Todd Palin was in a very serious snow machine crash last night, currently hospitalized in intensive care." Palin made an impromptu appearance Sunday at the Florida Strawberry Festival, briefly speaking to the press but making no public speech about her preferred candidate.

Best wishes for Todd's quick recovery.

Because it sure says a lot that they would speak of Palin's support for Trump, without expressing any concern at all for the well being of her husband.

A real hotbed of conservatism.

Sorry folks, the comedy show is cancelled. Go back to your Obama bashing.

citizens, BFD.

Voting power is diminished when super-majorities are loaded into single districts rather than providing the difference in a larger number of competitive races. You should be grateful, not disrespectful.

Her son got arrested. Now the First Dude is in an accident? She should probably stay close to Alaska from now on, as a general rule.

They made the arrest over the weekend.

These two incidents are separate and did not happen at the same time.

Conspiracy theories have a special place on DU and it's not LBN.

Is going into surgery. Man is he going to hurt. He'ssupposed to be all right.

He's a big time snow machine racer. Enters races and things. They said it was a freak accident but aren't they all.
