C'mon, you're saying that the VP sinecure is harder than being the Governor of a state? Ridiculous! Any zombie could do it; you go to funerals a few times a year, and show up in the Senate to cast a tie-breaker vote once in a blue moon. And that's about it. I think the best thing Sarah could do for her family would be to move them into the Naval Observatory for four cushy years.

I too, have had reservations about Palin being a VP. Not because she's unqualified - because she is eminently qualified. But the pressures and demands of an infant with Downs Syndrome are extreme.
But as you say... If she could be the governor of Alaska, she surely could handle VP duties.
As I think about it.... the hardest part of being a VP is the campaign itself. Once you get past the speeches, the debates, the Convention, and all that.... the rest is easy.
