Basic explanation...there are three judges who will give three scores. Judges will give a commentary on the whole question.
Vice Presidential Question
Colonel Mustard
All roles have been well-defined. Abbey Anumia's vision of the VP's role is the most intrusive in Cabinet affairs; while "lending a hand" can be appreciated, there's no telling how much friction that will create, as well as how much the Cabinet will feel they can let things slip knowing Abbey will be there. On the other hand, McEntire and HEM provided views that might actually free the Cabinet and the president some time to work on policy and initiatives. In the end, McEntire role is better defined and, IMO, more practical.

While all candidates certainly answered the question, only McEntire answered in such a way that makes me seem like he has an actual idea of what he'll be seeking to accomplish this term. Because he enumerated specific roles, it's clear that there has been discussion between him and Ogastein as to his role. Both Abbey and HEM's responses are certainly sound theoretically, but in past experience, that kind of outlook is one that commonly results in the VP fading into the woodwork. Of the two, however, I think that HEM has articulated more of a direction than Abbey has.
Abbey: C+ (6)
HEM: B- (7)

As Vice President, I’d rather have someone that would take the initiative and lead something than be an extra helping hand. They should be backup for the President but be their own leader as well. They should take on some sort of project, not wait for one to fall into their hands. Abbey seemed to be more waiting for something to come to her, rather than going out there and getting it herself. I really answering the question and I like that McEntire seemed to have a better grip on really getting things done.
