I think she still would have beat McCain but it would have been closer and I agree I think Clinton as the nominee lessens the chance that McCain picks Palin if not dare I say completely eliminates him considering a woman.

Yeah, I agree with all of this. McCain was always going to have a tough time winning in the 2008 environment. It was one of the best election cycles the Democrats have ever had. VP pick probably would have been a solid conservative, but not Palin.
