McCain was heading towards a Mondalian defeat with the entire conservative movement turning their back on him as he has on them for years. Picking Palin was the only thing which made it close.

It wasn’t close in the end.
The hope and promise of Palin pulled the GOP ticket ahead of 0bama after she was picked.
But then they lost it all once she started talking to the media and embarrassed herself.
Sarah had a lot of support in September, but the more people got to know her, the more of that support she lost, until it had totally evaporated by election day and McCain did just as poorly as he was expected to do before her.
