At a Republican women 's luncheon , Representative Heather A. Wilson of New Mexico noted that she had seen Todd Palin , the governor 's husband ( who was himself introduced , a tad confusingly , as the " future first second man " ) , introduce Mrs. McCain to the room , and tease that if he had " a crystal ball " a few years back , he might have asked a few more questions when Ms. Palin decided to join the PTA .
