Geraldine Ferraro, a former Democratic vice-presidential nominee, had come under blistering fire for comments she made about Barack Obama.
  • Racisim

    As a Black female over 50, I can tell you that this is not racism. It is political opportunism. Gerry allowed herself to be a lightning rod for those statements in order to get the message out that Obama is just "The Black Candidate". She even goes so far as to demean herself by saying she was just the "Woman Candidate". This is shrewd, smart, insidious and Machiavelian in the worst way. They knew what they were doing and make no mistake this was no slip, nor an accident. That is the horror! The party will be destroyed by her hand if she does not get the nomination and will be destroyed by everyone else if she does. Pray for us all!
