Dudes, please step back and look at her objectively, and you will come to see that your party can do much better. The woman is a ditz. All show, all slogan, all "folksy charm", and little else. There is nothing there. Ask her a tough question and she accuses you of "attacking" her. No. We just want to know what her thoughts on important issues are. And she doesn't appear to have any, outside of parroting the party slogans.
Seriously,

Folks tend to turn a blind eye to the folks on "their team." Obama has gotten a free ride by his supporters, in spite of doing and saying some pretty dopey things. It appears, however, for the time being, due to the "tax deal", he's raised some serious ire on his side of the aisle.
However, I'd suggest Palin has gotten more than her fair share of criticism. She's thrust herself in the public eye, so she's fair game. But i suspect Obama's comment about traveling to all 58 states, or thousands of people being victims of a tornado in a town of 12, or accusing police of acting "stupidly", got far less mileage here.
