I don't accept the meme that Sen. John McCain chose Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate in order to steal away female voters disappointed that Sen. Hillary Clinton didn't get the nomination. I don't think John McCain is stupid.
Apparently, a lot of pundits disagree with me, including Leonard Pitts Jr. down in Miami.
What this pick does do is energize Republican women, much in the way Sen. Clinton's campaign energized Democratic women. The target voter for this pick might be a woman, but chances are she hates Hillary Clinton.
And when these folks get rolling, watch out.

Democrat strategist agrees with you:
Don’t LOL. Palin Pick Is About Taking On Washington — Not About Gender.
You got this one right. The only problem is that she doesn't have enough experience to take on anything. Given that the Dems will win close to 60% of the women vote it’s a pretty brainless pick.
