Palin says she would lead energy efforts as VP
Source: Reuters

VIENNA, Ohio, Sept 16 (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain has outlined running mate Sarah Palin's job description if they win the White House -- and energy tops the list, just like it did for Dick Cheney in the Bush administration.

Palin, the Alaska governor whose addition to the Republican ticket has energized conservative supporters, said on Tuesday she and the Arizona senator had talked about her role if they beat Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the Nov. 4 election.

"John and I, we've discussed some new responsibilities that I'm going to have as vice president," Palin told a rally in the electoral battleground state of Ohio.

"First, I'll help to lead the mission of energy security."

Let me guess
She saw a gas station this morning, so now she's an Energy Expert?

Another Reason to Vote for Obama/Biden - Keep this deep-as-a-bird-bath nut-job away from the WH!

10. IF she occupies the office, it will not be the result of being fairly elected.
Of that I am confident.

Likewise, I am confident that, if she does occupy the office, I will be taking my wife and my 14 year old son out of this country.

24. So gas will be $16 a gallon by the time she's done?
"First, I'll help to lead the mission of energy security."

Will she strap on a rifle and plow into Tehran?
