Rmoney should have a bump for his VP pick right now while McCain was having such troubles that he needed to make a Hail Mary pick like Palin.

So Rmoney after making his pick is in the same bad shape that McCain was in before he made his "bold" pick.

Sen. John McCain announced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate Friday, calling her "the running mate who can best help me shake up Washington."
