Palin

It has become clearer why McCain choose Palin - it's because she's a Dominionist, that sect of fundamentalist Christianity that openly advocates turning the U.S. into a theocratic state. McCain isn't hoping to woo Clinton voters so much as to activate the Dominionist political machine which had been wary of him, into supporting him. A flurry of recent posts to dark_christian document Palin's Dominionist ties if you want to read up on it - pretty scary stuff. Definitely not someone I want a heartbeat away from the presidency, her inexperience is the least of it.
