Well, I was half right...
Isn't what is happening to Senator McCain now that he has chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate pretty much tantamount to removing him from the ticket? Same effect, different method...

John McCain will never be the Republican nominee for President.
Throughout the summer his campaign will continue imploding, all the while allowing right wing groups to attack Obama in a manner similar to the Clintons -- Hillary is a lesbian, they murdered Vince Foster, etc. etc. It's already begun.
By the time of the convention, Obama will be beaten up by all of the "he's a crack smoking Muslim terrorist homosexual" stuff, and people will be weary of the wrangle...and of course McCain will be ever more apparently unelectable. Most importantly, the press and public will be bored with it all.
At the Republican Convention, they will "throw McCain under the bus" (or he'll have a convenient "health issue." None of the Repubs like him, they've let him carry water for them for a long time but when they ditch him, what's he going to do, who's going to follow him? Nobody: so there are no consequences for them ditching him.) Then they will draft a young right wing man (I think Jeb Bush because it pushes it over into Crazytown where I live, of course, but some reasonably attractive younger man -- Mitt Romney, etc.) and an older woman...Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Condi Rice, etc.
The media will go nuts. The Republicans will own the story from the convention to the election. There will not be time for the Dems to either 1) develop a strategy to combat the new guy; 2) come up with a better story of their own. The new candidate will not get scrutinized in the same way as ANY of the other candidates thus far and more importantly, he will be NEW.
Obama, who once seemed new, will now seem tired, and the Repubs will win the election.
