You've just described Obama's entire campaign.

While her overall use does seem to be about pissing in Obama's coffee in regards to being the first black candidate, she also addresses the concern of McCain voters that his ticket isn't conservative enough. So, in effect, it does do a good job of uniting the party and almost certainly insuring a win at the same time. When a party is united, you get shit done.

And this is the only redeeming factor I can extract from the situation. Luckily for McCain, it's a big one since I'm liable to slit my wrists before November.
