The DNC and party elites pushed Obama over the top. Obama ignored Hillary and picked a boring Washington insider for his VP. McCain capitalized on Obama's error in judgement, and rather than picking an old bore like Obama did, he spiced up his campaign. Palin doesn't have the experience, credibility, or fortitude that Hillary has. However, McCain's choice was strategic brilliance.
Every time we see Palin, it reminds us that Obama made a mistake by not picking Hillary. Every time we see Biden, it reminds us that Obama made a mistake by not picking Hillary. If Obama loses, it will be his own fault.
Had Hillary gotten the nomination OR been on the ticket, the Democrats would be up by double digits in the polls, the Democratic party would have been energized, and the nominee would win in November with at least 350 electoral votes. FL,OH,PA,MI all would go blue.
Now, we have constant reminders that Hillary should be on the ticket. What a mess!
