Based on too much experience with the religious right, they'd be more likely to vote for a ticket that put Mr Ed one pacemaker malfunction from the Oval Office than one putting a woman in that position.
Personally, I suspect Palin was the first woman Republican they could find who would sign an agreement that if anything happens to McCain, she would step down in favor of a male Secretary of State instead of taking her Constitutional place as the next President.
