Why did Sen. John McCain really pick Sarah Palin as VP? It can't be because of her intellect, because?

she's not too bright. It can't be because she is going to sway the independent women voters, because she is pro-life, pro-gun, etc, it can't be because she is articulate, because she isn't, it can't be because of her great foreign policy experience, because she has none. The only reason I can think that he picked her is because she is hot. Can you think of any other reasons besides that?
