Sarah Palin Thinks Barack Obama Will Regret Not Picking Hillary Clinton John McCain's Vice Presidential Candidate Talks With Charles Gibson in Exclusive Interview By RUSSELL GOLDMAN
Sept. 12, 2008—
Gov. Sarah Palin says Sen. Barack Obama just might regret not picking Sen. Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.
"I think he's regretting not picking her now, I do. What, what determination, and grit, and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way -- she handled those well," the Alaska governor told Charles Gibson in her third and final exclusive interview with ABC News.

And Watch Gibson's exclusive interviews with Palin tonight on "World News" at 6:30 p.m. ET, a special "20/20" at 10 p.m. ET/ 9 p.m. CT, and "Nightline" at 11:35 p.m. ET
Palin, 44, took the mantle of the campaign's only female contender after Obama defeated Clinton for their party's nomination and picked Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., as his Democratic running mate over Clinton and others.
Palin has praised Clinton on the campaign trail, and when she was first introduced as Sen. John McCain's running mate last month in Ohio.
"The women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," Palin said as she accepted McCain's invitation to join the 2008 Republican ticket, referring to a line made famous in Clinton's concession to Obama.

Ohh, that Sarah is a crafty one...an unsolicited shout-out to the sisterhood...
This is about the ONLY thing with which I disagree with Gov. Palin.
No matter how much lipstick you put on a Clinton, it’s STILL a Clinton!! Obama don’t wanna share NO white house with TWO Clintons! This be HIS show!
Well, both Vice Presidential candidates agree on something!

smoove...
This was absolutely BRILLIANT on her part (and hopefully it was her idea).
Why? Now if the do the old switcheroo on the Dem ticket—as Biden may have been hinting at—it will look like HER idea. She can claim that BHO was following her suggestion. her judgement. In other words, if BHO acts to save himself, he’s her b!tch. Bravo Ms Palin, bravo!!
I hope this is a calculated and politically-motivated "opinion." Please tell me our VP candidate doesn't actually find anything appealing about PIAPS.
Someone post this over at HillaryClintonForums and PUMA.
You know that, I know that, and Sarah Palin knows that.
But a little praise, disingenuous as it is, could easily help make the sale to someone who doesn’t know that.
You think Pal Joey is going to figure out she just slapped the snot out of him???
Sarah’s gracious comment about Hillary applies about a thousandfold to herself. I mean, who can watch this inquisition and not immediately see the similarly? I am so hopelessly in love with this woman....
I agree, although I hate to hear ANY praise of that mule deer, even when its strategically advantageous to divide and conquer the opposition.
As this clearly is.
“No matter how much lipstick you put on a Clinton, it’s STILL a Clinton!!”
Yeah. I think she’s as grossed out with Hildabeast as I am, but the PUMAs...the PUMAs love Palin...and they’re mad enough to vote on it. I’m glad she said something positive about Hillary, without saying anything that can be thrown back at her if Hillary replaces Biden.
Quick! Someone ask Obama if he regrets not picking Hillary!
I’d LOVE to hear his response.
Nice, she’s out-slicking the Clintons...!
lol! We had to make the shift three days ago. Hilarious.
She's slyly razzing Obama to DUmp Biden and take Hillary as VP, but as you said, Obama is not going to listen to a women like Palin. Hahaaa...
Our Sarah is a smart cookie. Her statement simultaneously jabs Obama, digs at Biden, reaches out to Hillary’s supporters AND makes it more difficult for Obama to dump Biden from ticket.
Gov. Sarah Palin says:
“I think he’s regretting not picking her now, I do.”
This is brilliant!
With the low rumbles of Eagleton part two in the works, she has now co-opted the idea. If Zero replaces biden with Clinton, then Sarah looks to be prescient.
Now he thinks twice about doing it or else it is a major concession that she was right. And that he was wrong on his first major decision.
And if the ticket stays as is (the more probable scenario) then she has verbalized the other rumbling of the buyer’s remorse that is also churning beneath the surface.
Excellent.
Exactly. There's no good answer to that question.
Gov. Palin is stroking Hillary just enough to acknowledge her strong candidacy and career while helping her embarrass Obam_Ahh even more.
A big backhand to 'The One'!
Put the spurs to him, Sarah!
(heh heh heh)
BOOMP
A little diplomacy never hurt public debate. Obambi did treat Hildy like dirt, so he well deserves to have his nose rubbed in that fact.
Diabolically brilliant answer to snatch some more PUMA's.
My first thought was, "Oh, how very clever of you, Sarah!"Then, I formed a different idea once I read all the other comments, namely:
I do not believe she is a disingenous panderer. I believe her Christian nature/charity/core values brought her to say these kind things about a rough campaign. She didn't say she loved Mrs. Clinton; she merely acknowledged the tenacity of the fight Clinton returned.
I am not this gracious about the Clintons, but I do respect the governor's ability to put aside her ambivalence and offer grace.
Regards . . . Penny
He can't just change his VP choice without Biden faking some emergency!
That would be political suicide!
His first executive decision and he ask for a do-over?
Oh well, Obam_Ahh has a nice house in Chicago to go back to.
Divide and conquer. What a source of contention that will be with Obama and Michelle!!
Oh I’m loving this. She is pure class. Folks, we have our Iron Lady.
As has been said by some Alaskans who know her, this women has great political instincts.
Hey just think how Biden feels right now!
bttt
Sarah got a two-fer!! She slapped "plugs The Babysitter" calling him a "fill-in", and got Obamassiah by basically saying he has bad judgement!!!
“Her statement simultaneously jabs Obama, digs at Biden, reaches out to Hillary’s supporters AND makes it more difficult for Obama to dump Biden from ticket.”
Stand up, Chuck!
:)
Buy stock in DEPENDS!!! The left are soiling themselves!
About on par with shooting a moose, watching the bullet go though and kill the caribou behind it and having the ricochet waste some pesky wolf from behind.
Palin's Ultimate TrickShot HatTrick
Your post raises a very good point.
The next time Obama gets interviewed by someone who is willing to throw a curveball, they need to ask, “do you regret picking Biden over Hillary for VP?”
There is NO good answer to that question.
He doesn’t know what to do...

and to think, a few short weeks ago, the DUmmies had an over/under thread on when McCain would replace her on the ticket..
IMHO, he truly, at the time of her selection, didn’t realize what a gem he had uncovered..
Her comments about Clinton just sounded like a little “strategerie” to me.
She’s taunting him. I wonder if the jug-eared dingaling will take the bait.

This is brilliant!
and i'm sure he's going to be tempted to respond... oh how i want him to respond...
Two pronged attack
1. Throw an olive branch to the PUMA’s and the independents
2. Throw a big ole’ bucket o’ chum to the dumbest fish in the ocean, Øbamabarnacle
