I'll write about the politics of outing later, as it's a good topic, but for now, this:

Will this actually have an effect? I remember four years ago, at one of the debates, Kerry referred to Cheney's lesbian daughter, and people criticized Kerry for violating the woman's "privacy". (She was doing gay-specific outreach for Coors, so she was about as un-closeted as you can get.)

Two words: campaign manager.

Also it could give McCain an internal staffing headache if someone would bother to let the crazy fundie groups know about it.

The crazy fundie groups have Palin (about whom they will believe nothing negative, because she is Of Their Tribe). Given McCain's medical history, if I were a crazy fundie, I wouldn't care if McCain's campaign manager offered up sacrifices to Moloch, because I would be confident that with God's help, if Palin gets sworn in as Vice-President in 2009, she will be President before 2012.

Isn't he McCain's Senate Chief of Staff, not campaign manager?

I noticed because that's what I thought at first.
