Hillary Clinton would have been a better pick. With almost 100% certainty this race would be over.

But if we dig ever so slightly deeper we realize McCain won the chess match, but for an odd reason.
Obama was winning in the polls and picked Biden as a way of diverting from his lack of experience I think this was a reasonable choice. Given Obama had stayed ahead throught almost the entire summer.
then Obama gets a bump in the polls during the DNC this makes folks worry and puts pressure on McCain. He goes for the gamble and picks Palin. Now had Obama picked Hillary, Palin would have been off the table. I do not think you would get much benefit from Palin going against Hillary.
At this point Palin is carrying McCain to a tie or the lead. I like McCain's chances and Obama's arrogance of not picking Hillary should get atleast half the credit.
