I think she earned the VP spot and such a choice would go a long way towards healing the party divide.  The Supreme Court is WAY too important though for a seat to be given away as political spoils.  Sure she should have a say in it but so should many others.  We need exactly the right blend of progressivism, symbolism and longevity in our pick to make it as effective as possible.  Ultimately that will be Obama's choice to make.
