To be fair, how the VP role is defined depends largely on the president. Dan Quayle, like many a VP before him, ended up spending most of his time attending the funerals of foreign dignitaries. Gore and Cheney, on the other hand, had/have substantive roles--perhaps too substantive in Cheney's case.
So it's a legitimate question: What kind of job will VP be under McCain?
The more important question is: With McCain celebrating his 72nd birthday today, is this really the person ANYONE wants one heartbeat away from the presidency? Her resume is thinner than Obama's, a point that I'm sure will be hammered into the ground over the next few days. And although I haven't seen her speak, her lack of experience makes it pretty likely she'll be eaten alive by Biden in the debate.
