211. why would they want to dump her if they know it means there is no chance for McCain to win

They want to win. If they really felt the way suggested, they'd keep her on the ticket since they'd have no chance to win if she's dropped. If the ticket loses, the business wing can argue for 2012 that Palin is a failed candidate and that a business wing conservative should be the nominee not a fundie candidate. And if by some chance McCain/Palin were to win, they could push for her to resign after the election if they really had that kind of clout.
