No, you don't. the obama campaign took a gamble, which was that the number of swing (read: moderate) votes obama would gain by choosing biden would outnumber the number of votes he would get by those who would vote for anyone with a vagina. hillary as a politician and candidate no doubt makes palin look like a cheerleader with a shotgun, but she isn't as polarizing as biden, who, despite ignoring his teleprompter a little more often than he should, is himself a very competent and experienced candidate. The Dems have done a very good job focusing on issues rather than Palin, and it's only a matter of time before the media follows suit; I think we can all agree that as far as policy goes, Biden is the more competent and well-rounded candidate (as in, he knows what he stands for instead of just being handed a briefing right before the interview goes live).
(On the other hand, Biden's strength is his ability to aggressively take on his opponents in the verbal arena, but against a female candidate, regardless of how we would wish otherwise, this simply would look like bullying. Hillary would have a much easier time with this, but in the end, the marginal yield probably/hopefully wouldn't be as high as choosing the candidate who filled Obama's gaps instead of one who was simply popular. At least, I hope so, otherwise I will lose whatever is left of my faith in America's voters.)
