At the time in 2008, Sarah Palin made sense as a pick. She had that "real american" populist vibe going for her, fought the oil lobby in Alaska, excited the GOP base, and was something of a change factor (female VP) while running against Obama. The issue was they didn't probe her enough to figure out all the baggage going on there.

Lieberman's first go-to's for VP aside from Palin were Lieberman and Pawlenty,

What other prospective running mate could have the same positives that Palin had (excites the base, "real american", disruptive, a change factor, etc) without the baggage?

Meg Whitman perhaps? Bobby Jindal is another possibility.
