I think his choosing Palin as his running mate was when the Republican party went from being kinda stupid to batshit crazy. Thing was, he had to pick a fundamentalist Christian to be his running mate just to keep that wing of the party happy. He also had to pick a woman to try to lure former Hillary supporters into voting for him (and having heard talk from some women/feminists, I can certainly see why he thought that would work). Since he needed a fundamentalist, Republican woman, it really slimmed his choices down.
