Edited for effect. The sentence following makes it clear she would not say "yes" to a VP spot without an effective promise of having a powerful influence rather than a "wake up and make sure the President is alive"..."What exactly is it that the vice president does?" - Sarah Pallin
Sounds like an intellectual heavyweight to me. I'd like to have a beer with her, mainly to get into her pants, but to be my president, not so much.
I don't think it matters what McCain asked for. She is not the type that will sit in the shadows. She isn't going to quietly wait in the wings for a tie in the senate. She'll have her say, including to McCain, about policy and direction."In other words she made it clear she wouldn't take it if all they planned to make her is a pantsuit at a funeral."
So, ya think she got assurances on that from John in the 10-15 minutes that they spoke before he chose her?

If McCain is smart (which is doubtful) he'll listen.
The jump from smalltown/state style of politics to DC style politics is going to be difficult for her.
Ya here that? She's not the type to just sit there and take shit! She speaks out and is tough and stuff like that and that's a leader (Good Luck, after all, knows this women like the back of his hand, all the nights he's spent with her) and that's why we need to vote for McCain!
