The standard answer to that question usually is, tongue in cheek, "To inquire each day on the health of the president."
She could have used that old line. But, she continued to say, "We want to make sure that that V.P .slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here..."
That statement clearly shows her head is at the level of state of Alaska issues, not international and national issues. She is completely inappropriate for the position of vice president. I've been listening to the republican interviews about Palin today on CNN and MSNBC. It is clearly a stretch for them to be defending this choice. The last one I just heard was trying to defend the pick by saying she had been a mayor for a long time and had to handle Alaska's National Guard. PLEEEZE ... give us a break. This would be funny if it wasn't being taken seriously by the GOP.
