She outright said she believes Cheney's role has been appropriate, and sounds like she feels the position needs more power.



Ummm... No.

Please show me where in the in the statements you quoted she says "she believes Cheney's role has been appropriate." She did not.

What she said was that she hopes to help "administer very appropriately the plans that are needed for this nation."

As for what that means, or what "flexibility" means, it means doing what the President tells you to do. Same as it did for every other Veep. And the notion that McCain is going to give her anything of consequence to do is a little far fetched.

While we're on the subject of Vice Presidential "flexibility," I'd like to point out that Clinton had Al Gore doing more than any Vice President before him.

As for sounding "like she feels the position needs more power," I believe these folks can hook you up with some nifty tin-foil hats.
