McCain/Cain 08

Say Hillary Clinton gets the nomination in 08 and McCain decides that the best way to win is to try to get some black votes so he picks Herman Cain as his runningmate, basically doing the opposite of what he did OTL.
 
Cain becomes a worst pick then Palin, as news of his "sexual adventures" spreads. He's forced to withdraw within a month of being picked, leaving McCain down by double digits in the polls. Faced with near certain defeat, I think it's most likely McCain picks a safe if boring conservative and tries to salvage a respectable defeat. But he might decide to try a full on hail Mary pass and pick someone like Lieberman or even Powell, if he can convince him.
