politics: A load of bullcrap regarding Roberts

How fascinated I was to see this headline on my Google News just now: Most Americans Say Roberts Should Be Confirmed.

I mean, pardon me if this sounds a little snobby (it surely isn't intended so), but what the hell do most Americans actually know about Roberts? This soon after the nomination, really all any but the most dedicated political junkies know about him is that he's young and reasonably easy on the eyes for a 50-some-year-old judge.

Can we wait until there's actually some information about there before running stupid polls like this? They really ought to know better than to fall for the whole bright, shiny object that is the Roberts rush-job.
