Why are you putting so much stock in the VP choice, ace and pan? VPs are notoriously meaningless and ineffectual. Cheney may be a fairly strong exception to that rule, but that had everything to do with Bush's weakness as a leader. I don't think either Obama or McCain will be the type of president that is going to cede as much power to his veep as we've seen recently, so other than looking good on paper, I don't see where they bring a lot to the table.
If you weren't going to vote for McCain beforehand, I don't think his package has changed a lot because of Palin. He is still the same guy with the same goals. He brought in someone with great conservative credentials, as you noted, but I don't think she's going to have much impact on his policy or direction.
