Hillary Clinton praised the historic nature of John McCain's vice presidential selection in a brief statement released Friday that was eagerly anticipated by both presidential campaigns.

“We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain," Clinton, the first woman to win a presidential primary, said in the statement. "While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.”

Don't news services have a historian or two on their staffs, to check for accuracy in their news stories?

U.S. Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine) was the first woman to win a presidential primary.

Illinois, 1964, the Republican presidential primary.

Sorry. Hillary Clinton has never won a presidential shit. Palin, however, WILL be the first woman elected to the executive branch of this country.
