Bush was able to recover just fine withdrawing Harriet Myers as a Supreme Court nominee. In theory, McCain could similarly bring out a "blockbuster" nominee to replace Palin.
True, but a Supreme court nomination garners no where near the mass media coverage that a general election does. If you asked 100 US citizens who was on the supreme court, much less who was nominated I'd be surprised(shocked) if you got above the 30% correct mark. I'd say if you could get even half of the people to name more than two of the justices I'd be surprised.
Not only that but Bush needed to garner support in the Congress for his choice, far from a nation wide popularity contest.
