Well, at least I believe you. My reasoning is this:
McCain has painted himself into the corner and can't get out unless Sarah Palin steps down.
If he dumps Palin, it shows that he made a hasty, poorly thought out decision without a proper level of investigation for purely political reasons to appease the right wing and to try to grab disaffected Hillary supporters. That won't look good at all come November.
If he keeps Palin, he demonstrates that it's party before country, that he won't change course in the face of mounting evidence that an error in judgement was made, that appearance trumps substance. This won't look good come November.
The only way out is for Sarah Palin to "willfully" step down before the convention is over.
