I agree, but the question asked by the reporter was about supreme court decisions they disagreed with.

I agree that it was not a good question, but if she was willing to run for VP, 10 minutes worth of research on supreme court decisions could have saved her a lotta grief. She should have known that running on the GOP ticket someone might ask her that question. By being able to answer that question more completely, with a few more non-abortion examples, she could have still made her talking point about Roe v Wade.

But by portraying herself as only knowing Roe v Wade, she came off as an uneducated person with regards to Supreme Court decisions and one only interested in abortion issues.

But I agree, it was not a appropriate question to ask a VP. There are only two questions that are needed to be asked to a VP candidate

1. Do you know the number of the White House Physician?
2. Is your black suit pressed?
