Actually, Reagan chose Bush because he was the Establishment candidate that had been run against him, as a gesture of reconciliation within the party. Bush chose Quayle because he was popular with social conservatives, without being headstrong. In a similar manner, Kennedy chose Johnson because he was a leading challenger, and as a way to balance the ticket geographically without tapping a segregationist. Johnson chose Humphrey because he was the darling of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and Johnson needed to shore up support there. Etc., etc., etc....

As a real military man, McCain will not likely pick a weakling as his second in command. Military men, like police officers, always want strong backup. GWB will not be McCain's VP choice. GWB's picture appears in the dictionary under the word: "coddled."
