Time makes an interesting point - Palin was picked more to bring back Republican women defectors than Hillary voters: "The women voters McCain hopes to attract with the Palin nomination are not likely to be core Clinton supporters, who tend to be politically liberal and pro-choice — different from the largely conservative and strictly pro-life policies embraced by Palin. But McCain advisers have identified a significant number of more moderate, independent women voters who have not yet committed to Obama. Republican women like Misty Penrod, a registered nurse and single mother from Kettering, Ohio, may also be convinced to get more actively involved in the McCain campaign because of the pick. "I'm very excited by it," said Penrod, who has two young children and traveled to the rally Friday. "She knows daycare issues. She has a disabled child. She knows healthcare issues. She's a very good choice." Such sentiments, if they expand by word of mouth across a crucial swing state like Ohio, are music to the ears of McCain's advisers. By picking Palin, McCain took a chance with a politician who lacks much experience on a national or international stage."
