Palin campaigns for Trump in Florida Monday; does NOT go to injured husband's side

as previously announced. One wonders what's been promised in a Trump presidency for Caribou
Barbie. Her husband suffered massive injuries and was being operated on in a less than world class medical center - Mat-Su Medical Center, Palmer, Alaska (Board certified surgeons/specialists? Oh, what are those?)

Todd Palin, the husband of Sarah Palin, was hospitalized after a serious snowmobile accident Sunday night, temporarily taking the former Alaska governor off the campaign trail for Donald Trump.

Sarah Palin, though, made a surprise appearance in Tampa, Fla., on behalf of Trump later Monday afternoon -- despite an initial statement from the Trump campaign saying she was returning to Alaska.

"Todd Palin is in intensive care at an Alaskan hospital with injuries including multiple broken and fractured ribs, broken shoulder blade, broken clavicle, knee/leg injuries; and a collapsed lung," Palin wrote. "He is presently back in surgery to repair multiple fractures."

Yet another politician with a sham marriage.

of course she blamed Obama for her son's woes. Guess she'll blame Obama for her husbands accident too.

One story said he was snowmobiling with family members. Another reported he was found by passers-by. The accident apparently happened after dark - that makes for very tricky snow-mobiling.

Wonder if his blood alcohol content was checked. Interesting story on Mudflats about another snowmobiler.


Alaska

USAToday – Snowmobiler suspected of hitting Alaska Iditarod dogs arrested after confessing

A snowmobiler who said he was driving “blackout drunk” when he apparently struck and killed a sled dog competing in Alaska’s famed Iditarod has been arrested, according to multiple media reports. [/blockquote

At close to 8 p.m., emergency responders were paged out to a residence on Talkeetna Spur Road," Patty Sullivan, borough spokeswoman, said in an email to Yahoo News. "Two medics from Talkeetna Ambulance with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough transported a person with serious injuries to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. The accident involved a single snowmobile."

Another report said that he had been moved from the accident scene to where the ambulance picked him up. With all of his injuries, he's going to have a lot of pain and a long recovery. What are the odds Sarah is back on the campaign trail in a matter of days?

conference during her last pregnancy, and her water broke. Even though she knew she was carrying a special needs baby, and should have known from having 4 other kids that it was time to seek medical attention, she just went about her business and flew back to Alaska. She's an odd one.

What Trump has offered these endorsers?! He had Christie campaign for him during his anniversary vacation & just yesterday Trump had him skip the state trooper's funeral (which really is political suicide) & now he has Palin away from her husband's side.

so she decided she will not be denied that opportunity.

It was nice of Trump to fly her back to Alaska in his personal jet.....oh wait....nevermind..

Thanks Obama.
