I think Mr. Moderate was right on the money about Dick Cheney. At least, I thought the same thing: Bush was wise enough to know his main flaw, inexperience. Bringing on Dick Cheney appeared to be a sign that Bush was thinking ahead in a mature way. (In 2000, it was possible to think such a thing.)
I remember reading one article about how the Lieberman pick was similar. Bush and his advisors expected Gore to make a craven play for electoral votes by picking Bob Graham, John Edwards, or someone else from a Southern or Midwestern state. When he picked Lieberman, they thought it was an uncharacteristic display of maturity from Gore.
Sigh.
