I think not enough is being discussed here about Palin's inexperience and stances in case McCain/Palin win (which currently looks like a long-shot).
In today's news:
Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Asked by a third-grader what a vice president does, Republican candidate Sarah Palin responded that the vice president is the president's "team mate" but also "runs the Senate" and "can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes."
While aimed at a typical 8-year-old, Palin's explanations oversimplify the Constitution's definition of the duties of the vice president and don't match the office's traditional role in Senate activities.
The vice president's main duty is to replace the president if the president dies, resigns, is removed from office or can no longer carry out his or her duties for other reasons. The Constitution names the vice president as the president of the Senate but allows the vice president to cast a vote only to break a tie.

Sure, she dumbed down the answer for tthe 8 year old, but still she got it completly wrong. She knew the press was there and listening so there's no excuse for getting it wrong except for her lack of knowlege on the subject.
