The Role of the Vice President

After Thursday's VP debate, I wrote that Caribou Barbie's 'Bushlike" mispronunciation of the word "nuclear" overshadowed everything else that I took in from viewing it. In all seriousness, however, and as Robert Rouse pointed out to me, there was a far more serious issue that arose. The role and constitutional powers of the office of the vice-president. For Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney got it right. In reality Joe Biden does get it right. Watch:

Strickland for VP?

Support is growing in Democratic ranks for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland as vice president. He would bring to the ticket maturity (66 years old), experience (six terms in Congress) and moderation (rated "A" by the National Rifle Association). He is very popular in Ohio, a state Republicans must carry to elect a president. However, his record on the seperation of church and state as well as his anti-abortion stances would not sit well with many progressive voters.
