When did the Palin's marriage vows include sharing the Governor's duties?

I keep meaning to write about something besides politics, but there is just so much happening, that I must comment on.

Case in point, a governor who uses the power of her position, to wash her family's dirty laundry in public! But bear in mind, so far all we are getting is her and her family's version of exactly what has happened- apparently you had better not get on her wrong side- can't wait for this soap opera to get to the White House if she and John McCain should get elected.

I also thought Sarah Palin is Governor of Alaska, but apparently her husband has been getting in on the action in some small but still inappropriate ways. According to news reports, Todd Palin invited Walter Monegan, Public Safety Commissioner (whom his wife appointed) to the Governor's mansion in January 2007 to ask him to look into his ex-brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten's case. He was told the case was closed. This was then followed up by Gov. Palin in cell phone calls and emails, leading to this last July, when Monegan was fired because she wanted "to go in a different direction," or in other words, a direction she could more easily influence.

So if she and McCain are elected, are we going to have two Vice-Presidents?
