For the fundie, bible belt Republicans they can now rationalize themselves to vote for McCain. The northern Republican, greed folks this pick has to puzzle them but they understand that McCain has to pretend the religious folks will get something so they retain power. Northern Republican women could be offended at this pick. Depends on how greedy they are... McCain might actually lose some voters with this pick. Time will tell.
