Palin over Romney means nothing. McCain's conservative credentials were in question because he still worked across the aisle. Hell, he got into drinking contests with Hillary (guess who won?!

McCain needed rabid rightwing red meat to lock down his base. A waffling, pro choice, Mormon governor from Massachusetts was no help.
On the other hand, there's nothing that says that some McCain staffer didn't leak those returns to the other side....hmmm.....

I'm thinking all this is going to play out to ultimately feed into the Mormon stereo type

That would undercut the right wing talking point that the rich pay most of the taxes
