IMHO I think that question about Mary was an arranged one because the VP did not seem irritated by it and answered in a very honest and open manner not in a way that showed he disapproved of the question.

IMHO I think that he wanted this question and the opportunity to answer it to show it is something that all families in that situation have to struggle with it at the time but can come out of it still a united family. He emphasized but not over emphasized that he loves his daughter and is proud of her and also Lynne chimed in with the comment about Mary making her laugh.

I think he wanted an opportunity to portray Mary in a favourable situation rather than a pawn that Kerry/Edwards did during the elections.

That is my two pennyworth for all its worth LOL

FWIW, I agree with you. I think he knew the question was coming. Whether or not he asked for it to be asked, I don't know, but it's certainly possible.
