Better yet, How come only 38% of the country knows the name of the vp, but 78% can name the two people who were finalists in American Idol?

Because Bush has refused to release his real VP's name. He claims that information could jeopardize national security and has claimed it as Executive Priveledge. To protect it further he has tapped every ph in the US except private, direct lines into the RNC and granted their owners a $10 mil.
gov't contract to promise not to give out these Ph. #'s. because under the Patriot Act they are Top Secret. But its not that critical because if you do let Top Secret Info. he can always commute your sentence and may even Pardon you, as long as you're not one of the guys who really does know who the VP is and would have to tell the truth and appear if subpoened since the Pardon strips you of the 5th Amendment.
Besides, its unfair to expect Americans to know every politition. To make it realistic the Q should have been limited to naming only elected EXECUTIVE BRANCH officials
Any other GW Constitutional interpretation Q's ?

Ya know, I'm not a democrat, I'm not a republican. I know the name of the V.P. And I'll vote for whoever shows the most promise.
By the way, who told you that Democrats don't know the V.P's name? Must of been a Republican..*Ba dum pish*

How come so many ignorant people use the word MOST like they think they KNOW how EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this country feels or thinks.... or did they take their own personal survey? If so, I didn't get one so how can you say MOST..... oh and by the way I'm a dem and his name is DICK Cheney.. for NOW anyway. and MOST people actually KNOW that... maybe not YOUR democratic friends, but more people do know then do NOT.

I have never meet a dem. who didn't know who the V.P. was. I think you need to research your sources. Unless you live in a very secluded place.

The Vice President of the United States of America is Richard "Dick" B. (Bruce) Cheney.
I am not even an American, yet I knew who He is. So much for Your education system.

I'm not sure that's true. I mean... how can you not know about Dick Cheney regardless of political affiliation. I mean, if Democrats are going to expose his never ending lies, then they have to at least know his name.
