Is the controversy over Geraldine Ferraro's comments overblown?
  • well

    I don't claim the sight to peer into the hearts of men and women and see the light and darkness there. And yes, I thought Kieth was over the top last night. Sometimes I think he's auditioning for an opera spot, even when I agree with his basic premises. But I would agree there seems to be a pattern, or the appearance of a pattern. Power knew she stepped in doo, apologized, and commited seppuku right away. Ferraro kept digging herself deeper, The Clinton campaign initially failed to reject and denounce, so that looks like a double standard to me.

    And I think that the flip side of this coin "That Obama is winning because he is black" is "Hillary is losing because she is a woman". I don't buy that. But I certainly hear and read that quite a bit in the letters. Another thing we really don't want to talk about.
