I somehow don't think that American women voters are so naive to say "Oh look, she has a vagina too I will vote for her". By saying it was smart of McCain to pick a woman VP candidate to cater to women voters is basically saying that American women are idiots.
There is actually a lot of data that supports the idea that women tend to not vote for other women. There are a million reasons why, but it is true. If women wanted to rule this country they could. They are the majority, but many women look at women candidates and work hard to find flaws in them, often times flaws they would overlook in a male candidate.
