I think Palin would backfire.

PUMA's would see Palin much like they see Obama. Attractive, young, unproven, and getting the job for a reason other than experience. Never underestimate the "she's prettier than me" factor.

Too clever by half.

I see the potential for a Dan Quayle redux with a newbie like Palin. McCain shouldn’t take that chance.
