Alaska “first dude” to visit northern Minnesota

Todd Palin (pictured), the husband of Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, plans to visit northern Minnesota this week.

John McCain's Minnesota campaign says Todd Palin is expected to speak with voters and outdoors enthusiasts in Duluth, Grand Rapids and Bemidji on Thursday. He'll then visit Thief River Falls and Moorhead on Friday.

The McCain campaign has been trying to gain ground in northeastern Minnesota, which has traditionally supported Democrats. The campaign has held several "Sportsmen for McCain-Palin" events in the area to appeal to outdoors enthusiasts

Palin will tour the state with his snowmobile racing partner Scott Davis, who's a native of Grand Rapids.
