The ONLY thing I didn't understand from Thursday debate was....
When Joe (WE LOVE YOU JOE!!!!) said, "Barack asked me if I wanted a portfolio and I said no" (In regard to what his duties as VP would be.)

I THINK a "portfolio" means a wide variety of job duties across the executive branch but I'm just guessing.

Am I right? Way off? Help the dumb blonde girl out here.

thanks in advance.

1. I think he meant a specific area that would be "his", e.g., judiciary or foreign relations
since those are his areas of expertise. I think Gore had some specific areas like his government efficiency work, some environmental stuff?

2. You are brilliant!
Yes, portfolio of tasks, roles, is what he meant.
