3. I believe the original allegations were around Richter.
The Hanson thing is new as of today, I believe. Either way, it's pretty damned funny. Palin gets around, it would seem. lol

I know what you mean. I've googled Sarah Palin
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 03:59 PM by Janice325
and seen both names as (past) boyfriends.
Not trying to start any flaming or anything.

Edited to add stuff. Here's Brad Hanson info, strictly from a blog:http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-77788

from above link:

"Sources in Alaska say the incident occurred in mid 1990s, right around the time she became mayor of Wasilla. Todd Palin's partner in a Polaris snowmachine dealership in Wasilla, Brad Hanson, and Sarah were reportedly flirtatious and but never consummated the relationship.
When Todd found out, he reportedly dissolved the partnership and sold the dealership. Hampton is now a member of the Palmer City Council. He was married at the time of the reported flirtation."

If true, Todd has evidently poor taste in business partners.

38. Maybe its something in his karma or samskara
Maybe Todd is working out something from a past life experience and keeps picking these partners who want to bang his wife.

18. The evidence is piling up

The Enquirer prints a story that she had an affair with Todd's ex-business partner.

The business partner then filed an emergency order to have his divorce records sealed. It was turned down by the court.

Palin makes a trip to Alaska (damage control?).

They sure are acting guilty.

33. It got the Edwards affair correct

And other sources are confirming the affair, only claiming it wasn't a real affair just flirting.

7. She may have slept with both, but only had one affair if they were all threesomes.
Maybe they all went to TGI Friday's together?

8. The court docket
referenced in other posts lists Scott Richter appearing pro per (pro se).

Not sure where the Hanson name came from.

13. Earlier today I thought the alleged lover was Hanson, and Richter or his wife
was having an affair with someone associated with the Palins and had been fired over the affair, but I can't be sure and can't keep up. :crazy:

It's like a soap opera. Someone here used Palin Place to describe it. :rofl:

Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 05:29 PM by Blue_In_AK
that you all keep an eye on this local Alaskan blog... http://mudflats.wordpress.com/ . They seem to be watching this rumor pretty closely. My guess is the court filings are in Palmer, which is a little out of my area, and our truck gets lousy gas mileage.

14. It may be both. Quickie recap:
Various places have listed Scott Richter as her ex-boyfriend and Todd's close friend.

Richter owns property with the Palins, including part of their own Wasilla home.

Richter's wife was cheating on him, and so Todd had the boyfriend fired.

Eight months after Richter got divorced, Trig Palin was born (1 month premature).

Interesting coincidence? Maybe.

Interesting that McCain's camp brought up "paternity test" - I think they may have been trying to get that out there as something that people would consider ridiculous, so they wouldn't go there.

15. I ran across this blog today
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 04:20 PM by RedEarth
It was linked from one of the Alaskan blogs. The name is somewhat sleezy, but who knows??? I haven't been closely following the Enquirer story, so I have no idea if any of this is true or pure garbage....

Sarah Palin-Brad Hanson Alleged Affair: It's not going to be pretty.

When former Democratic Senator and Presidential candidate John Edwards was accused of having an affair by tabloid The National Enquirer recently, the mainstream news media were deafeningly quite. (The story turned out to be accurate.)

Today, the same can be said about the alleged affair ultra-right wing Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Again, there is a deafening silence from the traditional media. However, that does not mean you can't miss out on the drama unfolding!

The most outstanding revelation. That the man involved in the alleged Palin affair wants documents related to a divorce, sealed.


HERE are the Allegations surrounding this developing story:

-The affair apparently happened in the mid 1990's, around the time Palin had just become mayor of the small Alsakan town of Wasilla.

-The man alleged to have had the affair with Sarah Palin was a guy by the name of Brad Hanson.

-Some reports say Brad Hanson is a council member with the Alaskan city of Palmer.

-Brad Hanson was a business partner of Sarah Palin's husband, Todd. Brad Hanson and Todd Palin shared a Anchorage Car Wash venture together.

-Brad Hanson was apparently also married at the time, he divorced his wife not long after.

- According to reports today, this week Brad Hanson filed an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed with an Alaskan family court. The motion was... denied.

-According to the National Enquirer, there definitely "was" an affair, but some sources suggest it was pretty tame. Just "reportedly flirtatious.... but (Palin and Brad Hanson) never consummated the relationship."

-In its latest news stand editions, The National Enquirer said: "Todd discovered the affair and quickly dissolved his friendship and business associations with the guy. Many people in Alaska are talking about the rumour and say Todd swept it under the rug."

-Speaking out against the National Enquirer, John McCain spokesman Steve Schmidt said, “Its a vicious lie.”

According to other sources, the National Enquirer said it would be holding off on further details until "next week."

20. Some of the facts are screwed up here
It is Scott Richter that went in to get his divorce records sealed.

Brad Hanson owned a snowmobile business with Todd Hanson. Not the car wash. I'm not sure if they were partners with anybody else on the car wash.

32. Didn't I read Sarah's sister owned a car wash?
and it figured into some squabble. Was it the sister who was married to Trooper Wooten? She also had a previous husband and still went by his name. Just a shot in the dark, but could it be Hanson?

Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 04:14 PM by Wednesdays
"...the mainstream news media were deafeningly quite."

If they meant to write "quiet" I should ask what planet they were living on. If I recall, it was a 3-ring circus for days, and the chatter didn't die out until it was finally overshadowed by the beginning of the Olympic Games.
