And pardon me, but I didn't know the VP had to have a health care plan or plans for dealing with Iran. I thought that was something the person running for President had to have. I thought the VP was there to carry forward the platform that the party had decided upon and to push forward the plans of the Presidential nominee.

Well, if the Presidential nominee seems likely to keel over in the next four years, I believe some of us out here would like to have some assurance that the vice presidential nominee knows the difference between a friggin' Sunni and a Shia, an Arab and a Persian, as well as something about the history of the country (which BTW had a democratically elected government which the CIA helped overthrow -- a key piece of information for anyone who needs to understand why the Iranians feel threatened by the US).

Since the likelihood of her becoming president is higher than for most vp candidates, I'd just as soon they didn't have to train her on the job!

Absolutely agree with this poster. I don't think Palin can absorb all this info in such a short span of time. More is on the line for Sarah Palin to come up to speed than Biden as VP. If Biden had to step in to replace Obama at a moment's notice, he'd already have the info and comprehends what's going on.
