There are plenty of reasons why Palin is a horrible candidate who reflects extremely poorly on McCain, but "more of the same" is simply not compelling because she is a woman from Alaska. While her positions may be conservative to a T, this has to be conveyed in a way besides the "more of the same" catch phrase.

Recruit Hillary Clinton to counter Palin
I give props to the GOP for putting a woman on the their ticket, but we know that this would never have happened on its own or without the Democratic primaries. Additionally, Palin knows that she is only there to draw in Hillary supporters and give some illusion of change. Pain may be a woman, but that is where the similarities end.

Get Hillary Clinton to say no to Palin
John McCain would never have picked Sarah Palin if he didn't think it would attract disaffected female voters. If those voters hear from their original pick - Hillary Clinton - about how ridiculously bad Sarah Palin would be as VP, it would make a huge difference.
Just some talking points:
- Palin used to be part of the Alaskan secession movement

Republicans for Obama want Recognition
I am a Republican, yet I have fervently thrown my support at Barrack Obama. I have even involved myself on the campaign trail, doing both canvasing and phone banking for my town's Campaign Headquarters. I am not alone in my support for Obama. Many of my Republican friends are disgusted with president Bush and are ashamed of the shadow he has cast over the good name of our party.

Don't Let the Election become about Palin
The McCain campaign will do anything to take attention away from McCain. We've seen it in their negative ads and now in their choice for VP. Don't let them get away with it. Don't stoop to running a campaign against Palin...she's not running for president. The VP pick has never made a significant impact on a campaign for more than a week or so. Don't let this be any different.

Hillary to Supporters: DON'T FALL FOR IT!
Much of the reason to pick Palin is to draw away the upset Hillary voters to the Republican ticket. What Hillary needs to do is to outline the complete and utter opposites that make up her and Palin's stances and histories. If they want to vote for a woman just because she is a woman, they will anyway.

Unleash Hillary on Palin
Obama and Biden are going to have a very difficult time attacking Sarah Palin's flaws without causing a media stir. Hillary Clinton should, as soon as possible, give a high profile speech aggressively confronting McCain's pick. It should point out the obvious political intent of the choice, as well as turn the tables by suggesting that the nature of the choice is inherently sexist...

Focus Biden on McCain, Leave Palin to Hillary
By picking Gov. Palin the McCain Campaign thinks it has set a "trap". Women will become offended and enraged if Sen. Biden comes off as condescending or patronizing while debating Gov. Palin. Women will rally to the defense of Gov. Palin, and Sen. Obama's presidential campaign will be accused of being misogynistic. So get Sen.

DON'T announce a role for Hillary in the Administration
Offering Hillary a position immediately after McCain picked Palin would be pandering, and this campaign has time and again shown itself to be above that. It will seem even more desperate than McCain's pick of Palin, even though we all know that Hillary brings wayyy more to the table than Palin. Obama showed exquisite judgment in picking Biden. He picked the person who would best help him govern.
