I don't think that She helps him in any way as VP. The point of the VP is to improve a candidate's chances in states where he is weak or to give the candidate a better chance in one of the swing states. She hasn't blown him out in any race where the Democrats are considered strong in the general election, so why bring her onto the ticket? I also discount those polls that say that her supporters will vote for McCain. This isn't a new phenomenon in elections and in the past the hard core members of a party (and let's face it, she's not strong with independents) will come back to the party once the nominee is chosen. The same thing is happening in the GOP with McCain. Remember when there were folks claiming they'd vote Democrat if Romney lost to McCain?
