I really believe that this was a safe pick to mollify Hillary. She made it clear, “You better not pick someone who will seriously oppose me in 2012 if you blow it in ‘08.”
I see this also as a clear opportunity for McCain to choose a woman and thereby pick up a good share of the disaffected Hillary legions.
Bambi did not make a bold choice.
