Why did John McCain pick an unqualified Sarah Palin, when Mitt Romney, a man of vast experience and a Morman was available?

The percent population in the Westerm states who are Mormons is
STATE %
Utah 72
Idaho 27
Wyoming 11
Nevada 7.1
Arizona 6
Hawaii 5.1
Montana 4.6
Alaska 4.2
Oregon 4.2
Washington 3.9
New Mexico 3.2
Colorado 2.7
California 2.12
I would suspect that those living in states other than Utah and Idaho would be more subject to such an appeal.
