Palin files

well it's a pertinent question. Palin is quoted as saying that she didn't know what the VP did. Cheney has claimed not to be part of the executive. As far as I understand Bidens position is a more traditional view of the VP as being in the executive brance. It could never be considered a gotcha question. It is the position she is interviewing for. If she doesn't agree with Biden on this, I want to know why. I believe that she should be conversant with some of the big supreme court rulings, with the bush doctrine, with what foreign policy experience actually means. People have found excuses for her coming up short on these things. This is a question that not having an adequate answer for is unforgivable.

I was angling more at the "educated, reasoned and clear answer" part. One answer is likely to be short and not exactly clear and the other might keep you watching till Sunday and it still won't be clear.

I think its more telling that she didn't know about Supreme Court decisions that she disagreed with (despite the fact that the actions of the Supreme Court are one facet of McCain's campaign policy, and a perennial Republican party talking point).

Not only that but on the economic current crisis she couldn't name any regulatory reforms that her running mate had pushed for.
