McCain learned that the hard way. Once he won the nomination, Steve Schmidt (from Cheney's office) took over his campaign. Schmidt then erased McCain's list of possible VP candidate. And put Palin on that list. We all know what happened next.

Things change. Especially when your campaign won due support from moderates. And then a deal with the devil must be made to get party support.

Romney is in the same precarious position. The party has too many wacko extremists. He will have to make a deal. I believe Steve Schmidt is still available.
