Realistically, this election will (probably) be so close because McCain chose Palin ...
John McCain has difficulty relating to average-ordinary working/middle-class Americans, fiscally conservative people, and socially conservative people; these are the voters that are most commonly considered the “Base” of the Republican party and without them it would be difficult to win an election.
There are no established conservative-republicans who could have attracted the attention and support from the Republican base like Sarah Palin has.
