McCain picks Sarah Palin

I actually think he mainly switched because he lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut to Ned Lamont, so he ran as an Independent. I'm not actually overly fond of him, and I think he would have been just as bad a choice as Sarah Palin, but I would respect McCain more if he'd chosen him.

Also I just looked on wikipedia and it says that he's listed as an "Independent Democrat," whatever that means. He's pretty much a Democrat, but he likes the war in Iraq. A lot.
