Palin, for all her strengths, might be perceived (rightly or not) to be too close to the rampant corruption in her state's slate of high-ranking politicians. Today's indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens can't help with that. On the flip side to that, though: women voters who are still miffed because Sen. Hillary Clinton did not clinch the Democratic Party nomination might edge toward voting for a McCain-Palin ticket. It's a fun game, but we just won't know until we know. For the record, I submitted Gov. Tim Kaine and Gov. Tim Pawlenty as my picks in a contest some weeks ago. The current buzz has my hopes up, sort of. But you could be right about the head-fake. Gov.
