Is Palin's pick as VP a way...
for the GOP to use the sex card against us? Do you see a danger with this?

Personally I do not believe so. Palin is a strong Anti-Women rights (anti-abortion) candidate with NO EXPERIENCE in national security. I don't think they can't pull it off, she is just NOT QUALIFIED, PERIOD!

3. "Just because she's a woman..." will be to her and her surrogates what POW is to McCain.
I've already seen in on TV quite a few times, and the media is already warning that Democrats are going to have to be VERY careful to not cross the line (which translates to "This is a theme we are looking forward to using to boost our ratings").

4. She won't attract former Hillary supporters or independents.

People see through McCain's ultra-transparent ploy, and the only people excited about Palin are social conservatives who were never too fond of McCain originally.
