A post on Tennessee Guerrilla Women, a blog run by Hillary supporters in the state, said the Palin pick will cause large numbers of women to "once again tune into politics. And karma will once again prove to be a total [pain] for Barack Obama and the party elders of the undemocratic Democratic Party!
"Barack Obama should have begged Hillary Rodham Clinton to be on his Democratic ticket. John McCain may well be about to bring that chilling fact home to Barack Obama."
On the group blog Feministe, Jill Filipovic, a 20-something New Yorker, worried that the Palin pick would "woo white suburban politically moderate female voters" from the Dems.
Palin "has a solid resume. She's not an old white dude, which makes McCain look less stodgy. Biden will have a harder time debating against her without coming across as a bully (especially since he's something of a loose cannon prone to idiotic slips of the tongue, despite being an excellent debater). She could potentially woo white suburban politically moderate female voters. She's likable and has a very all-American story. She has a son in the military. The media is already swooning over her.
"All that said: She doesn't have much foreign policy (or any other governing) experience, which puts a dent in McCain's argument that experience is everything. But... yeah, this was a smart choice on McCain's part. Damn."
No Quarter USA, an online hub for anti-Obama Hillary supporters, had this comment from Danny in Alaska, a disaffected Hillary Democrat who had pledged not to vote for Obama, on a news post. He called Palin an independent and said a "vote for MCCAIN IS NO LONGER A PROTEST VOTE! I want bumper stickers."

Yeap the comment above sounds about right...people will vote to spite Barrack..then suffer 4 more years of damage to the country ...just to get Hillary elected..yeap thats definately sound judgement....
The disheartened Clinton supporters who were thinking about crossing over to vote for McCain may now have one more reason to do so.
In choosing someone like Sarah Palin, John McCain has bolstered his case that he and not Obama is the real agent of change.
Of course the Democrats will try to discredit Palin. But they are going to have a rough time about ti, she is far and away a better political choice than Obama and/or Biden.
Maybe now those that were thinking of sitting out the election will like Palin’s conservative credentials: She’s opposed to both abortion rights and gay marriage, supports increased domestic drilling for oil, is a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association and has a son in the U.S. Army.
I wonder if anybody will ask Madam Michelle Ma Belle Obama the following question: Are your proud of America now that a women has been put on the ticket for the Vice president of the United States of America
