I just had two interesting discussions with my mom and my sister, both of whom were Hillary supporters in the primary, that really got my thoughts going on what McCain is trying to do with this pick, and why it's set up to fail.
I've seen the polling that says only 66% of Hillary supporters are supporting Obama, and 27% are backing McCain, and I think that's the biggest reason for this pick. McCain and his advisers obviously see an opening there. Palin brings nothing else to her table, since her age doesn't matter because she has zero qualification in terms of experience. So let me tell you what I think he's attempting with former female Clinton supporters, and the likelihood of pulling it off.
