VP Debate

I am not to big on the whole politics thing, but from what I understood from the ten minute video I saw of the debate, Palin is the new Dick Cheney. She says that she wants the Vice President to have its powers expanded. It makes no sense to expand the Vice Presidents power. One reporter was questioning the idea, his point was that there is if the Vice President has his or her power expanded then that means they actually have to work. They already get free housing and now Palin wants to add more responsibility to her position, why add more work to your job? All I know is I heard Palin use big SAT words in one video and I was shocked. Yes I am picking on her, but its so easy.
