(CNN) - Sarah Palin said Barack Obama could be wishing he had asked Hillary Clinton to join him on the Democratic presidential ticket.
"I think he's regretting not picking her now, I do," the Republican VP nominee told Charles Gibson of ABC News. "What determination and grit and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way. She handled those well."
Watch: Palin says Obama regrets not picking Clinton
Palin herself has said that Hillary Clinton had been “whining” about sexism during the primary season. "When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism, or maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, 'Man, that doesn't do us any good, women in politics, or women in general, trying to progress in this country,' " she said at a media forum earlier this year.
But when the Alaska governor first hit the trail after being named John McCain’s running mate, she made remarks at campaign events praising the New York senator, though she stopped making the comments after drawing consistently negative reactions from GOP crowds.
Clinton herself has largely avoided discussing Palin publicly since the governor's selection as McCain's VP.

Wow....another attack from the McCain "pitt bull with Lipstick".....gee, that's really funny being that John McCain doesn't even trust his "pitt bull" out on her own!! That's really behaving in a "confident" manner isn't it?
Wow.....she calls herself a pitt bull with lipstick and yet the McCain camp treats her like a little CHIHUAHUA! LOL... AYE KA-RAM-BA!
McCain MUCHO LOCO!!
He's not he only one who wishes BO had picked Hillary , Their are 18 million of us. Don't get me wrong we like Joe too but it sure lessened our chance of winning.
Palin says 'perceived whine'. She didn't call Hillary a whiner. She's pointing out that others might consider her a whiner and it can backfire when people believe that. Nice try CNN.
The McCain campaign criticized Obama for showing “zero restraint” given the storm and said “today’s attacks mark a new low from Barack Obama.”
I'd say that Obama and Biden have a long way to go before they get close to as low as McCain and Palin are in slinging mud in this campaign. If the media would talk about the McCain that the public doesn't know, Obama wouldn't have to say anything more, but for some reason that is off-limits.
No... you wish he would have pick her, because you really don't want to be apart of the scandal, of the mc same bush game!
Hillary has repeatedly said she will do whatever ask for Obama to become president and she will work in whatever capacity. What part of that message the repubs do not understand?
The repubs are fixated with Hillary and yet any positive mentioned of her name is meat by boo. Palin is no Hillary.
Hillary is 100% democrat and Obama is her candidate, so, he must be president!
No more repubs in the white house.
Obama/Biden 08/12.
palin soon find out the type of person mcain is and wish that she has declined his offer. God blessed her.
I think Gov. Palin misspoke yet again. What she meant to say was "McCain probably wishes he pciked Clinton for VP."
Ya gotta love J. McCain. He self-destructs better than anyone.
Bet Palin wishes she wasn't a liar and fake!!
Obama/Biden '08
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCain / Palin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think he' more greatful that he did nor ask Palin.
Small town mayor, hockey mom and now a mind reader too.
He picked th right person for the job. Instead of a political choice like McCain.
How stupid does she think people are?
Anything that McCain, Rove, Palin, Guiliani say regarding what theDemocratic party should have done or should do is based on a calculation that saying "it" brings them an advantage.
In this case, Palin is trying to play to women with the comment. All the Republican women supporters of Hillary Clinton that were inclined to bolt went back to the GOP after she lost the Democratic primary.
Everything else from them is fishing with a worm as bait. No one is interested.
The McCain campaign right away started "whining" about sexism when Sarah Palin was chosen by McCain as his Vice-President. This must have been the excuse for not letting the press vet Sarah.
It seems that the McCain campaign is afraid to let Sarah go out by herself – she is scheduled to be with McCain at his small town hall meetings. Why? She has a degree in communications. Perhaps it is because a Bush speech writer and Carl Rove cannot follow her around.
Sarah might tell the lie again about the Bridge to Nowhere that she first wanted and then didn't want when the U.S. congress didn't approve it. BUT, she kept the money she had already received.
We heard Senator Joe Biden this week in St. Louis County, MO – tell us Obama's plans for the issues of health care, gas prices, the economy, Iraq, world policy, education and more.
Biden is the one America needs one heart beat away from the presidency. Obama chose wisely.
go HILLARY 2012
NO WAY NO HOW, NOBAMA NOBAMA
Oh, please! We all know that the Republicans would have been dragging Hillary's name through the mud and dredging up old history and lies to do so. This fake concern for her is just that:FAKE.
Besides which, Hillary would be much more effective in a Cabinet position ( Secretary of State, perhaps?) and some further role cannot be discounted.
Obama isn't smart enought to regret. His ego tells him he didn't need Hillary. Hillary should thank him everyday for that. I believe Biden wishes he had felt that way about him. This sooooooo much fun.
All what she can hope is to triger a new conflict in democratic party .WHAT A LOOSER SHE DOESN'T have anything to offer!!!!!!!!!!!! She doesn't won"t anything more but attention away from question WHAT YOU HAVE DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on Mc Same .
Thank you CNN for FINALLY doing your job.
These idiots are actually about to elect this hack.
She's going to regret accepting to be McCain's VP choice.
so this is all a game to Pain/MCsame..... Redumblicans think that BO was out to pick a running mate based on getting a block of VOTES.....is why they dont GET IT! O Made his first critical judgement as President Not one that can be Gambled with, you dont gamble with the country, the country takes a gamble on the Canidate for President. Does not sound like COUNTRY FIRST McCain! anyhow if Hillary had been picked, it would be want the Redumblicans wanted, and they be having a early Celebration........ But the rest of the world is NOW, and will be on NOV 4th..... all because of Mcsame Gambling addictions, sorry Pain lin....... YOU BEEN PUNKED! same old McSame, Same old Politics
Obama/Biden 08 12
NO KIDDING!!!!
Lost a lot of votes (including mine)... Bad move by B.H. Obama...
I rather doubt it. Nothing against Hillary but Biden is the right guy. As for Palin.....liars like her should just shut up. The more Palin says the dumber she sounds.
I wasn't even a fan of Hillary's and didn't vote for her but you Palin are no Hillary so stop pandaring for votes. And I trust Obama explicitely, he made a wise choice. Did it ever occur to anyone that Hillary may not have wanted the slot?????
