Sarah Palin: Hockey Mom, VP Candidate, Seahawks Fan?

Sarah Palin and her husband Tom are members of a Seahawks fan club up in Alaska. Seth Kolloen at Sports Northwest confirmed it with the president of that club earlier today:

I spoke to Tom Spindler, President of the Mat-Su (Matanuska and Susitna Valleys) Seahawkers. “She joined about two or three years ago,” Tom told me. “Her husband Todd is the one who enrolled them.”

Tom told me that, in addition to gathering for Seahawks games at Tailgaters Sports Bar in Wasilla, the Mat-Su Seahawkers support youth sports in the area.

He said that he heard Palin doesn’t come to too many club events–("She’s pretty busy, being the governor and all,” he said)–but she and hubby Todd did stop in last year to watch the Bears game.

Well, that seems to be one thing we have sorted out about the new GOP candidate. But wait! It appears that while she's now a Seahawks fan, previously she was in favor of "earmarks" for Alaska a Steelers fan!
