I am one of those voters, white, middle aged female, and I would not even consider voting for the McCain/Palin. Why? Issues, my friends. I vote based on a candidate's take on the issues and his/her plan for governing. To suggest that I would cast my vote based on a person's sex or ehnicity is, well, ridiculous.

Hi Jeff,
I haven't found out if the “Palin pick” was simply done to gain media awareness.
Nevertheless the interesting angle to the discussion is whether it has any affect on the polls.
This discussion reminds me of a widget I came across recently.
It shows the election polls by strength of states, in addition to other different graphical visualizations of data, this one displays the progression of votes over time.

I think you might like it:-)
