Romney will not lose any Romney votes by selecting Palin as his Vice President, but he would gain 50 Million pro-Palin voters.

Without Palin, Romney might get 25-30 Million pro-Palin voters -- just on the anti-Obama sentiment -- but probably not enough to win this election.

Doubtful. Palin's strength would probably be in states Romney would carry anyway. In swing states, Palin might cost him nearly as many voters as she brought in.
