Palin's firm anti-abortion views will energize many wavering Hillary voters to enthusiastically support Obama.

Some but hardly all. Check out the pro-Hillary sites, where there is lots of enthusiasm for Palin. Even those less enthused understand that Obama's got a problem, like this commentator:

Plus now all of a sudden, everyone is expecting Hillary to clean up the situation and do all the dirty work.
Dear Dems,

Here's a clue.

You didn't nominate Hillary Clinton for president. You didn't nominate her for Vice President. The DNC actively went out of their way to make sure this did not happen and then alienated a large chunk of her supporters. You said they weren't needed, weren't wanted but had no other place to go.

Don't start saying she's got to be the one to clean up the situation with Palin for Obama.

It's HIS mess. Let him deal with it.

At least the Republicans were taking careful notes and not making the same mistakes.


McCain doesn't need all Hillary's supporters to win. Some will do.

Those with that point of view would never have voted for pro-life McCain regardless of his VP pick.

I disagree. More women are concerned about the glass ceiling than abortion rights.
