CBS News political analyst Dan Bartlett points out that the Palin pick signals that the McCain camp sees an opportunity to make headway with Hillary Clinton supporters who have not come over to Obama. “The problem she has is a lot of those women who rallied around Hillary Clinton are pro-choice, and she’s pro-life,” Trippi notes. “To defect, they’d be voting for a pro-life ticket.”

And then there is the question of whether Palin is ready to be president – a charge that Republicans have repeatedly lobbied at Obama. (McCain, as Democrats are sure to point out, turns 72 today.)

“The argument is Obama is not ready for 3 am phone call about crises in central Europe or one of the -stans, so what about Palin?,” says Greenfield. “There’s no reason to think there’s anything in her record that says she’s ready. It really undercuts the argument against Obama.”
