Gov. Sarah Palin, much like the current Vice President, appears unwilling to specify which branch of government her position would belong to should the McCain-Palin (Palin-McCain?) ticket win in November. 

This blatant reluctance of Gov. Palin to provide an answer to this most straighforward of inquiries (no unwarranted blaming an overzealous media on this one, Barracuda) raises two important questions.

The first is whether this is an indication that a McCain administration would continue to puruse the unrestrained (and unmonitored) role that Dick Cheney has made for himself as VP? Secondly (and relatedly), does Gov. Palin not wish to place a limit on the extent of her potential power or does she simply not understand the nature of the vice presidency?
