McCain is an old political warhorse. He can put his ear to the ground and gauge his own constituency. He knew what was going on. He could have named Romney and made the safe pick, but by naming Palin he got a staunch conservative who has a good record, like he would with Romney, but he also got the bonus of having a "family values" woman in case there were any disgruntled Hillary supporters looking for a lever to pull. 4
As noted.. it will take one question posed to her about women's role in the family and any disgruntled Clinton supporters are out the door.. or if she panders, the Evangelicals be pissed... God I hope she's asked about that...
