If you run with the general assumption that "they couldn't win with only the base so they had to go with McCain" to have a chance, then it seems possible they might have been better off losing 65-35 while getting their core motivated in order to help the down ballot races than losing 55-45 (just picking a number, not a prediction) with an unmotivated & demoralized base.

With the selection of Palin as a running mate and the complete pandering to the far right, they might as well have gone with Huckaby. I had considered voting for McCain for a while shortly after it appeared that he would be getting the nomination. His nomination to me was a sign that perhaps the GOP candidate would be one that would be closer to what I would like to see in the White House. Everything afterwards however has shown the opposite to be true.
