if only running the US was only about 'defending the country'. not only is national defense/intelligence in the worst state it's been in decades, but since WHEN do we elect administrations based on the VICE PRESIDENT?
VPs are little more than figureheads, potential future presidents in training. thats why its ok for Edwards to be VP and learn. and NOT ok to have Cheney run the country from behind the curtain. do you remember when the congressional commitee wanted to talk to Bush about 9/11? Bush finally said ok, but ONLY if Cheney came WITH HIM. thats a presidential first.
