Should Obama have picked Hillary?

Did the GOP just co-opt the Democrats' chance at making history? Sarah Palin, a conservative, antiabortion, pro-NRA Republican may just be the first woman in the White House.

    No.

    At first I thought Obama should have nominated Hillary, too, but the more I think about it, the more I can't get past two big negatives:

    1. Republicans HATE her. Nominating Hill would definitely motivate some Con voters who might otherwise stay home.

    2. Bill. Obama doesn't need Bill Clinton in the White House bigfooting all his decisions.

    Also, on a more selfish level, I'm psyched to have Hillary back as my Senator.
