Good point. They need to guard against an overtly political appointee.
It's time to see what McCain, in particular, is made of, no? The 2008 race seemed to change him for the worst for a bit, but standing up to his own party on big issues is the sort of thing pre-2008 McCain was known for (torture, for instance). He can get Graham at least on board, and maybe Collins, and maybe things start to move in the direction we all know they need to.
