Even Mike Murphy, who ran McCain’s last campaign, thinks the idea that Palin will attract disenchanted Clinton supporters is nuts. (Check out his blog at Time Magazine.) Sure, given the choice between a man and a woman who share the same political views (Obama and Clinton), women will generally vote for the female candidate, as we saw. But that doesn’t mean they’ll vote for a woman who *doesn’t* share their views.

Maybe Palin does get out more evangelical votes, though.
