Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy?

PBS is conducting a thoroughly unscientific online poll, asking people if they think Sarah Palin is qualified to be Veep.  We recognize that this is unscientific, but are nonetheless astonished that the Yes and No columns are currently dead even.

Either there has been some funny business organized by her supporters, or readers of the PBS website are considerably dumber than we give them credit for.  Perhaps they should drop Masterpiece Theatre in favor of Laverne and Shirley reruns.
