He did, he gave her a couple of tries and then described it in simple 
terms for her.

It's not clear what she does know.

But since he did explain himself, perhaps the reason for repeating 
the question was not to humiliate her, but to find out what exactly 
it is that she knows, since she's being treated in an incredibly 
sexist manner by the McCain campaign, and is not currently allowed to 
tell us what her stance is on any of the issues.

She has the attention of global media and can settle any questions of 
ignorance or qualification with one press conference. Biden's given 
what - over 80 already? It is absolutely unprecedented that any VP 
candidate avoid the media like this, and THAT is what the "gimmick" 
is.
