That is not the job of a VP. It just doesnt work that way.
The Edmund Muskie-Lloyd Bentsen law.
Without Sarah, many more would have stayed home. The same crowd that stayed home in 2006 to teach the GOP a “Lesson” couldnt pull the handle for McCain. It had nothing to do with Sarah. It wasnt her job to carry the ticket. She rallied people and brought in more money than anybody else could have. The problem is the Republicans are too busy cutting each others throats to try to get ahead. Look what Romneys staff did to Sarah. We will continue to lose elections, until the GOP runs real conservatives and learns to play as a team.
