By split the republican party, I mean that the more libertarian republicans have been looking for a reason to leave Bush. The Texas style GOP just isn't their cup of tea, but then again neither are the Democrats. I think people trust McCain, including a lot of Democrats.
Like archer said, the decision would alienate a lot of left leaning democrats, not to mention people in the party who are working to get the pick. It would send the message that the party lacks the right guy for the job, which it doesn't (imho).
But as a centrist democrat, I'm excited by the possibility.
