When asked in the past about being McCain's vice presidential pick, she responded on Larry Kudlow of CNBC: "[A]s for that V.P. talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the V.P. does every day?"<ref>[http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12969.html Palin dissed veep job]</ref>
