This is why I was hoping to the gods that Hillary didn't end up on the ticket, much less winning. Everything else about her aside, I would not have wanted our first female president to have inherited this mess, ended up a one-termer (for I do believe that no matter who wins, he's likely to be a one-termer), and have folks pointing fingers in 2012 saying "this is what we get for electing a woman to the presidency" and making it impossible for a woman to be elected for another 50-100 years.
