The country needs Palin to run in 2012, we need her experience in picking a good cabinet?

Had McCain picked a stronger running mate, I think he would have had a better chance. However, someone convinced him that Sarah Palin would get the female vote and some of the "Hillary votes." This proved to be not true. The truth of the matter is that due to the public approval ratings of Bush, no republican had much of a chance. Was McCain a sacrificial lamb?
