Surprise

Suprised. The Obama campaign is surprised. Now, that is an achievement.


Which would explain why the campaign's initial response to the pick was such a blunder:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign on Friday blasted his Republican rival's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a running-mate, highlighting her "zero" foreign policy experience.

I suspect that most Americans will understand that having a son in the army and on his way to Iraq makes her more qualified on foreign policy than a guy who spent a few months in the U.S. Senate before running for President.
