VPQs

The NYT has compiled a list of suggested questions to the VP candidates this evening. Here's one:

Governor Palin, in a February interview you told me that “energy is a cause of war.” You said, “I personalize it, realizing my oldest child, my son, is in the Army now. He’s going to be deployed in a matter of months.” You added, “We’re fighting over, in some sense, energy sources.”

Governor, could you describe how, in general, energy is a cause of war, and how, specifically, it is a cause of war in Iraq?

Well, it's to do with health care and, um, job creation here in these here United States, you know, the amazing job our troops do, and job creation...can I get back to you on that?

Here's another:

It is 9 a.m., and the president is traveling abroad. A terrorist attack on the United States occurs. You have 10 minutes to prepare to move to the now famous bunker at the White House to deal with the incident. Whom will you take with you into the bunker? And, once there, what do you do in the first hour?

My husband Todd, and we would, you know, just pray for the future of this great nation.

Must admit that I much prefer your writing on Palin in this style rather than your slightly-too-helpful advice post. :)

Looking forward to the post-debate thoughts. I wasn't initially planning on staying up for it, being a Thursday this time around, but lets face it. We're election junkies.
