I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are...What's with the GOP and idiots who can't talk good?
Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president's agenda in that position.
Yeah, so I do agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there, and we'll do what we have to do to administer very appropriately the plans that are needed for this nation. And it is my executive experience that is partly to be attributed to my pick as V.P. with McCain, not only as a governor, but earlier on as a mayor, as an oil and gas regulator, as a business owner. It is those years of experience on an executive level that will be put to good use in the White House also.

Funny you say that, because I decided earlier today that I need to just watch the horror of the election unfold and laugh, otherwise I'll become so embittered I won't know what to do with myself.
What you quote is the point in the debate when I stood up out of my seat and yelled "WHAT?!?!?!". There are just so many things wrong with what she said, fully disregarding the incoherency.
I love Biden's response; it was precise and clear concerning how he doesn't know where Palin & Cheney get this from because the Constitution is very clear. The VP only presides over the Senate in a tiebreaker and has no legislative role other than that.
I suspect that not living in the US and not having TV make it a lot easier to take the bemused approach. If I actually watched this shit I'd probably get bitter right away.
