Race would be won if Clinton on ticket

Whether one believes Gov. Palin has the resume to be a vice presidential candidate and thus a heartbeat away from the presidency, one thing is definite in this year's presidential election. Barack Obama claims to have exhibited better judgment when it comes to comparing his record vs that of John McCain. Had Obama truly exhibited his better judgment he would have selected Hillary Clinton as his running mate. That crucial judgment would have ended this campaign at the conclusion of the Democratic convention. Clinton could have been Obama's game-changer.

One can legitimately argue about Gov. Palin's credentials but Obama's poor judgment in selecting Sen. Joe Biden over Clinton has turned this presidential race into a real dog fight. Palin has now become the game-changer.
