I think this is in the same vein of the strategy that the RNC used in sending Keyes to run against Obama in 2004.
If I were the targets of this particular political strategy, I would feel more insulted than anything else.

Can you elaborate on the "dissaffected women's vote" aspect? The most recent poll I saw indicated that Obama was leading McCain overall among women 52 to 37 percent. Since HRC's first concession in June until now, the numbers of her supporers moving to Obama has been increasing.
I'm also confused as to what you mean regarding Keyes? Obama defeated him handliy in 2004.
