That makes you a partisan hack, and a hypocrite for criticizing the Obama supporters who supported Obama without knowing many of his positions (which at least were available).

Here's what I've said so far about Palin:
- Timing of the announcement was excellent
- Keeping the actual pick under wraps (thus maintaining shock value) was excellent
- Palin's lack of experience does not remove Obama's lack of experience from the debate table
- The tempest in a teapot around her daughter's pregnancy is a disgrace
Other than that, I've adopted a wait-and-see attitude. From what I've heard other trusted commentators say, I'm cautiously optimistic, but I confess I'd like to hear her speak more. As I said, it's been all of 3 days.

The nation doesn't know anything about her, making polling on the topic almost meaningless, much like your moronic, hyperventilating-style commentary.
