You should start with their endorsement for president.

Your characterization of what the VP does is retarded.

Maybe you've become confused by watching a VP pull a President's strings for too long

perhaps your a little lost on the subject, allow me to educate you. VP's office is in the senate, to break any ties with the deciding vote in the senate and to replace the president if he dies.

THAT IS ALL. if you are suggesting that biden the walking gaffe is supposed to replace obama's inexperience with his own experience, then you sir are [MOD CUT/name calling]

It's you who is more than a little lost and in need of education on the subject.

While the VP is charged with deciding possible ties in the Senate that's hardly his/her only task.

What I did suggest was that Biden's experience would supplement Obama in the areas where he may be lacking experience. I NEVER suggested it would replace anything. IF you don't understand that it is YOU sir that is a moron.

Your post is condescending, pompous and rude.
You are correct in the VP's role in the Senate (by the way, not to "Run the Senate" as Palin ignorantly asserted.)

However, in addition, a VP can CERATINLY play a significant role as an advisor to the President. Just look at Cheney - he's done plenty of advising. he's basically been running this administration, puppeteering Bush.

What is Bidens?
Who is in the news more Biden or Palin?



Oh and to clarify "again"
Governor Sarah Palin is "NOT" running for President

Biden did and only got 2000 votes............

I know it is confusing.
