I just watched a Sarah Palin interview. She is very smart and very shrewd. She is not a lightweight. I have a feeling if McCain wins the dems in the Senate are going to be in for a fight. I could see her showing up there every day pushing the McCain agenda and she can say I'm the President of the Senate. I'm here to help move you guys along. I could be wrong but I think she is going to try and add some muscle to that largely ceremonial role.

The Vice Presidency was always a dead end.......until Al Gore. Clinton gave him a lot of responsibility and they expanded and advanced the role of the VP. Then Cheney took it to the next level and I believe Palin will advance it even further.
