Yours are the first TWO I've heard of.

I belong to a dog-lover's forum (mostly women) and I asked this exact question to them directly to see if McCain's choice swayed any previous Hillary supporters, or any fence-sitters.

So far, they find McCain's choice laughable and insulting. Palin is uber-conservative feminist... the polar opposite of a the die-hard Hillary supporter. I think the notion that Palin was going to sway women voter's from the other side or the undecided is just plain false.

The only thing it will end up doing is pleasing the disgruntled conservatives who were voting for McCain anyways, or unsure of McCain. But in the end, at this point, I don't think it's going to be enough... but anything can happen between now and November.
