McCain's Running mate

Minority? Check
Not ancient? Check
DC outsider? Check
"Maverick"? Check

What did you guys expect? Most of the other big potentials were either tied to the Bush camp somehow (that's bad) or would turn the conservative base off even more (also bad). Inexperience is Obama's shortcoming, not McCain's so picking an old school DC person would have gained nothing.

I don't know enough about her to say if I like her or not, but this makes sense if you are looking for a complimentary VP candidate.
