As a reelected Governor, she's suitably qualified.

Conservatives are happy with her record. She doesn't have much ideological baggage, so she could be a plausible running mate for Chris Christie, Rand Paul, etc.

A relatively young brown woman adds diversity to the ticket. She also has a record in small business that can make her an effective advocate for various policies.

I don't think the tokenism charge is fair.

She is a reelected Governor of a mid-sized state. White guys reeelected Governor of South Carolina were previously considered plausible veeps including Mark Sanford for McCain in 2008, and Carroll Campbell for Dole in 1996. Prior to that, South Carolina had restrictions against consecutive terms as Governor.

Her resume differs from Palin (first term Governor of one of the smallest states) and Ferraro (third term congresswoman.)
