Struggled with this for a while as well... using the draft state and publishing it to a different publishing target seemed to create another set of problems.
In the end, I created a development publication package, and then created a Development Area node in the site tree where editors can create new content. All content in this node uses the development publication package, and publishes to an internal site where new content can be reviewed. When they're ready to go live with a page - or set of pages, I disconnect them from the development area, and then reconnect them to the appropriate section within our live site tree. If there's a set of pages (a page with a number of child pages), I do have to remember to update the publication package - when disconnecting, the development area publication package remains assigned to the child pages list.

Have you tried a big stick? ;) If the boss just needs to see it in situ, you can always set up a separate project variant with it's own publication target. This will let you publish out draft content somewhere that people can review it.

The story goes "I have a boss who cannot be bothered to log in and review something but I need to show them the progress before submitting the changes. Also they have no imagination so they need to see it in situ" I'm paraphrasing .... slightly. So does anyone know of a good way to tackle this?
