What will be the names of the turkeys pardoned by President Bush before Thanksgiving 2008?
The public has spoken. "Pumpkin and Pecan" are the winning names of the Thanksgiving Turkey and the alternate that the President pardoned on November 26, 2008.
Background:
This year's turkey and his alternate come from Ellsworth, Iowa, where they were raised by National Turkey Federation Chairman Paul Hill. He was 20 weeks old and weighed 45 pounds when he was driven to Washington. After the pardon, he will be flown to Disneyland, where he will be the grand marshall of Disney's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The name will be decided by online voting.

If you just google palin turkey you can find quite a LOT of commentary on it!
Palin will do anything to stay in the public eye....turkey slaughtering is not as lowwww as this woman will go. Dan Quayle with lipstick
Sarah Palin is no wimp... she would finish the job too.
And I wish to add I have always preferred the succulent Dark to the dried out old White stuff.
