“According to reports in Anchorage and Colorado, a 21-year-old undergraduate called Adam Brickley may be responsible for Sarah Palin’s Vice-Presidential nomination.”
This is the more likely the source:
Strategic Vision Pollster Predicted Palin VP Pick last year

David E. Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision, LLC accurately predicted the presidential nomination of Arizona Senator John McCain in 2007 on POTUS Radio when all political experts had written McCains obituary.
Johnson also predicted that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would be McCains running mate in March 2007.
Johnson reiterated that Palin would be the candidate following Barack Obamas selection of Joseph Biden as his running mate.
Johnson based his predictions upon polling done by Strategic Vision, LLC in key battleground states and his own political expertise of over twenty years.
Based upon our polling in key battleground states in 2007 and early 2008, all indicators pointed to John McCain as the only plausible Republican presidential nominee, said David E. Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision, LLC. Our polling showed that McCain was the second choice of the other candidates supporters particularly in Florida which really made McCains nomination possible.
Our polling in 2008 have shown that Barack Obama underperforms among female voters particularly in the states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that provides an opening for Senator McCain, continued Johnson.
Additionally, John McCain has a unique opportunity to present the future of the Republican Party in his vice presidential selection.
All of this indicated a strong dedicated conservative that would be outside of the box and Sarah Palin headed that list along with her appeal to social and fiscal conservatives and her moving life story.
Strategic Vision polling in the key battleground states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, and non-traditional battleground states such as New Jersey indicate that 25% to 35% of Hillary Clinton supporters will not vote for Barack Obama and might consider voting for John McCain based upon his running mate.

I have never believed that McCain is so stupid as to believe that after the nomination the Democrat Media wouldn't turn on him. But he did know they would push him over the other candidates during the primaries which they did.
That was the value of the media for McCain then and now, in choosing Palin, he introduced the perfect villian that he knew would hit the hot button of leftist elites from pols to media pundits to educrats. But in attempting to destroy her they will go to every length, wallow in every conceivable double-standard, and open the eyes of millions of women (and men) as they see the reality of the Democrat Party and Media.
