deeper truth, maybe you should change your name to pollyanna
Everyone knows that for Democrats you could never win by being racist. It denies and defies even the most basic commonsense logic.
Have you ever heard the term "southern democrat"?
As for Ferraro, an decent person would have said: Obama is standing against Sen. Clinton because he beat out about a half-dozen worthy competitors, not "well of course it's because he's black" or whatever.
I think Ferraro's situation as vp nominee was a bit different from Obama's...the democrats were specifically looking for a woman to broaden the appeal of the ticket. Correct me if I'm wrong. So no, she was not sexist for saying whatever it was that she said about her gender...I guess.
