Mitt could have helped him with some of the independents, but I really think if he picked either Mitt or Lieberman he wouldn't have had a chance at winning. He can't win without the support of the evangelicals. They are already wary of him so if he were to bring on the Mormon or the Jew I'm pretty sure most of them would have turned their backs on him. They may not have voted for Obama, but they wouldn't have voted or would have voted for a 3rd party candidate. He needed someone line Palin to help him win over the evangelicals. The problem is she is such a bad pick that she has turned off many of the independents.
If she somehow manages a home run in tonight's debates that could change and she could help McCain, but whatever help she gives him will be minimal. Her risk, as it turns out, is probably fare greater than her reward.
