    Women and the GOP

    I respect McCain's decision to go full force after female voters, but is this the best he can do?

    Is the GOP so thin with woman that a 20 month Governor is the best bet? Condi Rice and Kay Bailey Hutchison have a lot of baggage and after that you fall to Alaska's 1st half of 1st term Governor.

    I would think that picking an under qualified woman would upset Hillary's base not entice them. Seems like really obvious pandering.

    It does not speak well of American's if this ploy works.
