Senator Clinton has just released a rather gracious statement on Senator McCain's selection of Governor Palin of Alaska as his running mate. "We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain," Mrs. Clinton said. "While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate."

In tone, the statement matches the one put out by Senators Obama and Biden welcoming Ms. Palin to the race, and not the earlier statement from an Obama spokesman lambasting her lack of experience and ties to Bush administration policies. With a woman on the Republican ticket, Mr. Obama will likely need Mrs. Clinton now more than ever to take a more critical stance on Ms. Palin if he wants to keep the former first lady's supporters from defecting to Mr. McCain.
