Yep, If he decided to pick Palin after looking at Mitt's returns, that says a lot.
I think he was looking for a game changer... and he cound one. Just not one he expected.
Although to be fair to Romney, I suspect there might have been other reasons.
The top one being, McCain didn't like Romney on a personal level and still doesn't.
There was also the issue where McCain couldn't answer a reporters question on how many houses he owned, because he held the paper on houses where relatives were living. So the last thing he needed was a
guy who owned four mansions in four different states.
But we don't know for sure, because Romney won't show us what's in his tax returns.
