More seriously, though, on reflection I'm not sure that Hilary would have been as good as Obama, either on electability nor on desirability grounds. Just because she has ovaries does not necessarily mean she would have as progressive as is needed.
And I think you would agree that Sarah Palin's ovaries in the Oval Office chair would have been an unmitigated disaster.
