Sarah Palin says she’s serious about her campaign for the U.S. House, telling The Associated Press that her unique place in American politics would put her in a stronger position representing Alaska in Washington.

Laura Wasser is providing insight into Sarah and Todd Palin's recent split. "There is always potential for a divorce to turn ugly in the public eye," says Wasser, who is also the founder and CEO of ItsOverEasy.com. Below are four other things we've learned from Wasser about the Palin divorce. Sarah and Todd were high school sweethearts and eloped in August 1988. The court documents reveal that Todd requested joint custody of Trig, as their other children are all legal adults.

The husband of former Alaska governor and one-time vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has apparently filed for divorce, according to a report. Todd Palin, 55, cited an "incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife," in a document filed Friday in Anchorage, according to the Anchorage Daily News. The filing uses initials, but the couple's wedding date and the birth date of son, Trig Palin, match, the paper reported. Sarah Palin, also 55, was elected governor in 2006.
