Ferraro Happy About Palin, Won’t Reveal for Whom She’s Voting

If Ferraro voted for McCain or Palin, she would being saying that all of the rest of her political career was a lie.
Ferraro had deep seated anger from when she was a VP candidate, which I can understand.

She probably feels the same as alot of us……she doesn’t like Obama and doesn’t want to vote for him. Nothing to do with race etc. Just plain doesn’t like the guy…
At least, as a democrat, that’s how I feel…
SO sorry, I am sitting this one out or voting for McCain.

Geraldine Ferraro will vote the ticket
McCAIN/PALIN……she won’t tell you..
i just did………
She’s Hillary supporter voting republican,just like millions like her.
DEAN,PELOSI don’t get it……
The problem is Obama……
McCAIN/PALIN ’08

She is not going to vote for Obama. It is clear.

I agree with Ferraro a thousand times over Obama and the old puppetmasters behind him.

Well look at that, more women jumping on board the Palin train.
In my family 4 out of 5 of the women have defected from democrat to republican for this election. we were ALL hillary supporters.

The issue is that of John McCain’s judgment. No one in their right mind thinks that being Governor of Alaska for 1.5 years should be anywhere near being the President of the United States.
Let’s stop implying that John McCain is senile. It is now a fact.
Let’s get one thing clear. Alaska is not like other states. It is a petro-state like Saudi Arabia that rakes in so many Billions of Dollars from oil production that they SEND CHECKS TO EVERY RESIDENT OF THE STATE!
That is quite different from the normal states like for example Ohio that have to actually worry about balancing expenses with income and property taxes.
Being mayor of Nowhere, Alaska does not mean very much to me. We have high-schools with a greater population that Nowhere.
BARACK OBAMA’S SPEECH IN DENVER HAD 10 TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE AS THE TOWN IN WHICH SHE WAS MAYOR!

Joe Reed,
But you would trust a 46yo man?? LOL

Joe,
It seems that even Dems don’t share your concerns:
Ferraro defended Palin from charges that the Alaska governor — who got her first passport last year — doesn’t have enough foreign policy experience.
“What she doesn’t know she will learn very quickly, she seems smart enough,” Ferraro said.

I have always respected Geraldine Ferraro. She is an intelligent, hard-working, non-insulting individual. While I believe though that she respects Palin and McCain, she is going to vote for the candidate that holds views most similar to her own. This means someone who puts forth policies she believes in and think will help her.
This is what everyone should do. They should not vote for the most charming person whether it is Obama or Palin. People need to learn to vote for those whose policies best reflect their own interests. If everyone learned which candidate they agreed with the most, then America would be better off. After all if you end up voting for someone just because they say they will change something, you may not like the consequences.
They may actually change policies in such a way that you and ohers like you are adversely effected. After all, Hitler and Castro brought about change. Doesn’t mean that it was good.
But anyway, I think Ferraro will vote for Obama.

Ferraro does not have to say who she is voting for…..just as Colin and Condi don’t….but they are all alone in the booth……and they will vote like 98% of blacks….despite their careers in the Republican spotlight.
You go Geraldine….I’m with you…..
McCain/Palin

_____________-
… and you feel that the ability to show off your enormous ego and big ears in an enormous arena at an expense of millions of dollars during a time when most of our population is beset one way or another by money problems… is a reason to elect an inexperienced Chicago Charlatan as our President?
Well then, perhaps you should change the nominee’s name to “AXELROD”!
the best solution would have been Hillary but:
MCCAIN AND PALIN
COUNTRY BEFORE BROKEN DOWN DNC!

I especially love men strong enough to back WOMEN. Now those are MEN.

Obama has preached change, change, change – then selected a 36-year Washington partisan instead of the woman who got 18,000,000 votes.
The Republicans now have two mavericks running on their ticket with a proven record of making change – one of which just happens to be a woman.
Promised Change -or- Proven Change?
Change We Can Believe In -or- Change We Can See?
Yes We Can -or- Yes We Did?
McCain/Palin’s reform ticket is a winner!

As Doris kearns Goodwin said “Pailen is the least qualified VP candidate in modern history.’ this nomination is a joke.

Do your research.
Google images of WASILLA CITY HALL
Does that look your city hall?
She won the election with less than 1,000 votes.

Wow, the McCain team must really be worried about this choice. They have all you people working overtime on the boards and then you are praising an endorsement from Geraldine Ferraro.
My my how your positions change with the direction of the wind.
So Debra, now you know who Colin Powell and Condi Rice are going to vote for?
Since you have supernatural powers, why didn’t you warn the Republicans about scheduling their convention during a hurricane?

Okay, please cut the bull.
The problem with all these masquerading as Hillary supporters is the people who are Democrats know Hillary supporters (lots of them).
If there were the kind of mass support among Hillary supporters that the volume on this board suggests, why is it that neither I nor anyone I know knows a single Hillary supporter who is excited about this?
Okay, we will count Geraldine out. She feels personally slighted by the party, and this little announcement of hers is her way of trying to get her own back.
I note she did NOT say who she would vote for.

Ferrarro…oh yeah she was one of the many Obama threw under the bus! It must be getting crowded under there with Rev Wright, Rezko, Hillary and Bill, and of course his own grandmother!

Uhhhh you do realize more people voted for Obama??? He had a better ground plan and won states she didn’t think about campaigning hard in, to put him ahead in delegates. He was never ONCE behind in delegates, HRC trailed him the entire time. So STFU.

In truth, the media covered up/failed to cover the John Edwards affair which had they have done thier jobs, HRC would have taken OHIO and not BHO. But the media was sooooo against Hillary, they got BHO appointed. She won ALL the BIG states that w/o the dems have no chance. SHE WAS ROBBED. So Barb, you’re delusional, and in order for Hillary to stay alive in the party, BHO MUST lose so she will be the presumptive Dem. nominee in 2012. VOTE MCCAIN?PALIN 08
Keep Hill’s hopes alive. 2012

“A governor who is a right-winger, endorsed by the neo-cons, not prepared for the job and knows next to nothing about foreign policy, or much of anything besides oil.”
Palin a lot more executive experience than Obama. Obama has no foreign policy experience and has no more experience than becoming a senator with no accomplishment to speak of. He could not even reveal who he is.

Tex Mom; I was a Hillary volunteer and I am continuing to donate to pay her debt. I will not lift a finger for the DEMS now, neither will ALL the Hillary supporters I know.

Ms. Palin is from the extreme right of the Republican party. Say with me: GOOD BYE SUPREME COURT!!!! I am for one very happy since I don’t agree with abortion and crazy feminists. It is very ironic that abortion and sexual misbehavior were brought by radical women, and it will end by crazy, radical women as well.
GOOD BLESS A MORAL AMERICA!!!!

Its really amazing that people believe McCain puts Country first!! He had at least some credibility on this before Palin pick. Whoever thinks the same now is either too drunk or a troll.

Actually, I felt the COUNTING of the votes (leaving out most of Michigan and Florida for that time being), and the SELLING/BUYING of delegates, and the cramming of ONE candidate down our collective throat was a flagrant example of a broken, UNDemocratic Party!
But even if Hillary hadn’t won…. why would anyone except a megalomaniacal and pompous personality dismiss this relatively high (HALF???) portion of voters with the disdain and lack of respect clearly demonstrated by Obama?

TxMom,
Sorry, but there are many hillary supporters, myself included, who have moved from Hillary to McCain. Face reality. Democrats usually take a much larger % of the female vote than Obama is projected to get right now.

In truth, the media covered up/failed to cover the John Edwards affair which had they have done thier jobs, HRC would have taken OHIO and not BHO. But the media was sooooo against Hillary, they got BHO appointed. She won ALL the BIG states that w/o the dems have no chance. SHE WAS ROBBED.

lol, you have no clue. You have no idea what you’re even talking about. You just proved you’re a Republican in disguise… If you were a true HRC supporter you’d know she won Ohio.
She won the states that always goto the Dems. So, you’re going to vote against EVERYTHING she believes including having Roe vs. Wade turned over, womens rights, stem cells… The only reason you voted for her is because she has the same body parts… your mind can’t even see the REAL issues at hand. Obama had a much better ground game put together and had a plan after super tuesday. BTW, if she won Iowa it still wouldnt have made a difference… and she got third not second, so edwards wouldnt have even mattered. Quit trying to blame it on everyone else…. excuses.

Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill – we women can support Palin as another woman putting herself on the front line for her belief in good government and vehemently disagree with her politics.
Eight IS enough.

Classy women.
Compare Geraldine Ferraro to what Barack Obama revealed of himself in that New Hampshire debate.

It doesnt take away the fact that McCain excercised poor judgment in selecting her running mate. This has already backfired.
For the past 18 months, Obama has been elected by the people, tried and tested with tough questions and tough debates. This is enough experience over inexperienced Palin.
Poor judgment McCain.

One should vote for who they believe is the best candidate, not because they have a (D) or (R) behind their name. That’s why I am an independent. I won’t goose step with the Dems or Repups. Obama, in his short time as a US Senator, has only once voted against the Dems. Yet, he pretends to be the uniter or the “bipartisan” candidate. It is McCain that has repeat idly risked his political career.

Ferraro knows that Obama is a fraud!
And so do most Democrats that support Hillary Clinton.
Tell Obama and the DNC elites to take a hike!
McCain-Palin ’08
Hillary ’12

As Ferraro went, so will Palin!! Ferraro should really come out and declare that she is nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and then go get a life instead of trying to poisom more of the atmosphere than she has already. The bitterness of some women is highlighted even more with what is coming out of her. Go get a life Geraldine instead of making yourself more unacceptable.

Who needs her miserable vote? Afterall she is always on the losing side.

No party will bully me.

The same people that disrespected Hillary and Geraldine are disrespecting Sarah Palin now.

Palin strongly believes that Washington is in Texas, Iran is in Alabama, Chinatown in San Francisco is the capital of China, Guantanamo is in California, New Mexico is in Mexico, Irak is a suburb of Nord Korea not too far from Arkansas.

I’d never thought I’d ever be voting Republican. But, thank you very much, NO OBAMA FOR ME!!
I think Sarah Palin is fabulous.

Shows just how dumb she is, Geraldine would rather cut off her nose than help her Country! I am waiting for Hillary to say something that sends a strong message to Annie Oakley.
Gerry is old an bitter, she is ad her time has come and gone. If her husband was not envolved with the Mafia she woud have made out better!Oh, Palin is under indictment!

I don’t understand why people are being so negative to strong women like Geraldine, Hillary and Palin. I don’t agree with Hillary’s views but why people bash her strengths, I don’t get it. She would had been a strong liberal candidate for the republicans. It’s time for women to lead who can make changes to our government. I think Palin’s very smart. I admire her. It will be terrible to see these radical groups demeaning her.

lions2tigers: It’s okay that Hillary Clinton and Ferraro are being good sports with Annie Oakley. They know what they’re doing. Clinton especially is a good sharp shooter.

Any normal person can see that she’s awesome in every respect . . .
But the question is: Is Palin normal? This lady orders a mass killing of wolves, she gets on a ten hour flight with a high risk pregnancy after the water breaks, she denies the existence of global warming, she’s a die hard NRA member, she wants creationism taught n school . . . .She’s awesome alright, an awesome fright of a person.

Kat’s for Obama, I think.

Sarah Palin is loved by those who are not bitter and cling to guns and religion….her election too, will be historical…..it’s not just about putting any black guy into the highest offfice of our country, without deserving it, earning it with more experience than your VP, Biden. True American grown ups will vote…..John Sydney and not Barack Hussein.
Palin is the perfect compliment and I bet her husband is a great Mr. Mom.
McCain/Palin

I love Geraldine Ferraro.
She is a strong woman who is not afraid to speak her mind.
Personally, I think she knows Obama is a fraud and she is disgusted with the DNC for propping him up.
I am quite sure she will be voting for McCain/Palin – like many sane Democratics will be doing.

Catherine,
you say SANE democrat?
OK, then Hillary is insane, too.

I think this is why good people do not seek elected offices. It’s such a shame and a waste of our lives that people cannot work together and solve problems.

What she doesn’t know she will learn very quickly, she seems smart enough,” Ferraro said.
Being the VP for the Presdient of USA is not a on the job training job. Russia is trying to star a war and she have no clue on Foreign policy.
Ferraro is a nut case and we don’t need her vote.

Obama is the nobody, what did he ever accomplish?

To the first person who posted–
Won’t Barack Obama be learning on the job on Day 1? I would rather have a VP learning on the first day than the President. You might wish to re-think.
But Palin learning curve and learning time will be quick I am sure–she sounds like she has already done what is humanly impossible in Alaska in a relatively short period of time.

Palin is no Hilliary Clinton and her supporters no this and will not vote for her. She is pro-life, but her career before her kids. Most women with kids are very mad about this. There is a time for everything even passing up a great job opportunity like the VP of the USA. She and Mccain have proving to put a win before their good judgement. Bad judgement on Palin choice to accept this type of job over taking care of her sick child. Any body that is a mother no this to be true!

Re: but her career before her kids
Are you under a rock?

I’m a Republican so I followed the Republican primary. Jindal wasn’t even there, and Mitt Romney dropped out early because he didn’t have the votes.

I really do not need any more stories on Ms.Geraldine. She seems desperate for attention though.

To Ferraro Who:
Why is it not ok for Geraldine to be proud that a woman is running for VP, if it’s ok for African Americans to be proud of Obama?

I get concerned when MCCain starts referring to Palin as “Oh, yeah. She’s a partner and a soulmate.” Why soulmate? Cindy is supposed to his soul mate. Is this man in love with Palin that he makes this insane choice just to be around her.

Pete get over yourself. I have called co workers soulmates when we totally connected in a great project. Quit looking for trouble
Puma for McCAin

Pete – He actually did say that Palin is his soulmate and partner on Fox News Saturday. Maybe he’s neither Baptist nor Episcopalian , but Mormon.

My Harvard educated butt will never vote for McCain.
It’s downright patronizing that he would choose a VP just because she’s a woman.
I was a Hillary Democrat and I remain a Hillary Democrat. Palin is anti-choice and anti-fair pay.
No way. No how. NO MCCAIN.

Palin has the voice of a Ihop waitress…like fingernails on a chalkboard

Roxanne–Your butt may have been educated at Harvard but your bain/mind certainly was not.
Please go out and get a real e3ducation on honesty and decency. OK

“Being the VP for the Presdient of USA is not a on the job training job.”
I’d be more comfortable with the VP learning on the job, than with the President having to learn on the job, which is what we will have with Barry.

well this proves it. Ferraro is not a feminist, she’s a sexist. Gender first, convictions second.

Ferraro’s a life long democrat, with strong liberal convictions. The only reason she would vote for McCain is if she knows some things. from her work on the Clinton campaign, about Senator Obama, that we don’t know (yet), or if she is just very much representative of the disaffected Hillary supporters who feel Obama’s actions toward Senator Clinton during the primary were sexist, and she simply hasn’t or won’t forgive him for it.

sassy wrote, “Palin is shamelessly using HRC. She is no HRC and she is trying to wrest the feminist movement from her by posing as her.”
Sarah Palin has not tried to pose as HRC. They are both strong women. I support McCain/Palin but I think HRC was more experienced. Palin is pro-life and for many HRC supporters that is unacceptable. I have had to go posting on these forums arguing with many democrats who say that Sarah Palin should be home watching children rather than also pursuing a political career. Were she a man, would this argument be made? It seems there is a lot of sexism here. What is unusual is how many republicans admire Hillary’s tenacity and grit (and not just for prolonging the democratic primary – I truly came to admire her fortitude and her logic), but how many democrats think that Sarah Palin should be a housewife with no career. This seems to be opposite of conventional stereotypes. I think that Ferraro didn’t appreciate the hatchet job pulled on both herself and on HRC by the Obama campaign, and in Sarah Palin she sees someone to admire for character and gumption if not for political ideology.

One can count on Ferraro jumping at the opportunity for any publicity. She is running for office again. Since her voters are Democrats, expect her to lose AGAIN.

SAraClintorn neither Joe Biden. But she is Sarah Palin. She had proven her worth to fight against big oil companies and the corrupt members of her own Party. Barack, just disowned Rezko, his financial mentor for 16 years; with Biden, heaven knows, how clean he is.

FRank Magno,
“She had proven her worth to fight against big oil companies and the corrupt members of her own Party”
Really? She has such a long track record of doing this in her 8 years of public service, two as mayor of a town of 9000 and governor of a state a tenth the size of NYC? She is small time player in a sparsely populated state. But yet McCain this woman is qualified? Give me a break! I don’t think she has enough track record to say she is a successful governor. After all, many thought GWB was a great president 2 years into his term…

The Obama supporters are so brainwashed that they will not even consider the option of someone else, whether they are qualified or not. It is disappointing that they run like mice following a Pied Piper off the pier together, without knowing what awaits them. You are supporting a product of the Chicago Political Mob, a creation of a lot of money and thugs who have ruined a great city and now want to expand their empire to the country. Look around Chicago and find what the entrenched political machine has done to that once fine city, ruined it.

Shay,
“Palin came on the scene, nobody knows anything about her, and the Republicans go wild!!? That tells me a lot about Republicans. It doesn’t matter what she knows, but the fact that she “looks” like them.”
You got that right! In fact, I think a large part of the reason she was chosen is that she looks better than them. McCain chose style over substance.

I really don’t think Geraldine Ferraro would vote for a Republican. They are anti-choice, against equal pay for women, don’t want to raise the minimum wage, are against unions, don’t want to provide affordable healthcare, and don’t want to help people get an education. She may not like Obama but she is not stupid. She will vote on the issues that are important to women.

Mikey: why don’t we just raise the minimum wage to 100k an hour, then we’ll all be rich!! the minimum wage is the dumbest thing going. try econ 101, it hurts the very people you say you want to help. but the truth is you want them unemployed and dependent upon the government. so they’ll vote democrat.
you want healthcare? why don’t you buy your own for you and your family, and stop asking other people to pay for it. same with education, why don’t you pay for your kids, instead of hoping I’ll do it for you?
why are you for abortion? who’s going to be left to pay for all the things you want?

mikey: you’re a typical dem, real liberal with other people’s money, but unwilling to donate your own. you know like obama, who lets his brother live in a hut, and doesn’t help at all. doesn’t want to send his money, but will be glad to take ours to send!
you’re the greedy one, wanting other people to pay for your needs, and unwilling to be responsible for your own needs and those of your family.
As far as prisons, I thought abortion would fix all that, you know there wouldn’t be any unwanted children around…that was the lie told at the time. its like that other lie, you know about a fetus not being human.

t…you are mistaken. First I’m not a Democrat. I’m an Independent and I voted for McCain in the primary in 2000. I not only donate, I volunter regularly. I’ve never taken government money for anything and I made too much to qualify for the latest government rebate. I am Catholic. So don’t be so quick to judge. I just happen to believe that the Democrats this time have the best interest of the American people at heart. The Republicans are just interested in keeping power so that they can continue their right wing agenda.

t..I think you have a touch of amnesia. The Republicans have been running this country for the last 8 years. The first 6 years of George Bush’s presidency he had a Republican Congress. The Republicans are responsible for the horrendous state this country is in. 80% of Americans agree that we’re on the wrong track. The people in charge of the train wreck are the Republicans.

mikey: the GDP grew by over 3% last quarter, oh yeah thats like the great depressin…only to people who have to lie to take power. you can’t explain any of your positions, or go beyond talking points, as is typical for a liberal democrat. Since you are for abortion, why do you call yourself catholic, when the position of the church is clear?
the democrats have been running congress the last 2 years, and they promised to bring gas prices down, and instead they’ve doubled! thats democratic results for you. and obama is only sorry they didn’t go up a little slower, so people wouldn’t be upset…thats democrat ‘compassion’ for ya!!

Sadly, it looks like sexism is alive and well and well received by many in this country. Even Biden said yesterday at a campaign stop how ” good looking she is.” It’s not acceptable to bring this up- racial comments along the same lines would not be tolerated yet many seem to think it’s ok to talk about Palin’s looks. It’s not!! This is the future of our country -she may have participated in beauty contest before , but this is not a beauty contest. It is very serious business- you should base your voting decision on the issues and which candidate shares your values.
Still waiting for Howard Dean to be a real leader of the Democratic Party and stop this nonsense. It was not ok to treat Hillary in that manner and it’s not ok to say such against Palin.

Leiberman (2000)and now Ferraro (1984), both VP candidates for Democrats supporting McCain. Where is the new AD coming ??
- A McCain Democrat from MA

vs —it’s hard to beleive you are a Democrat. First, have you ever watched Fox? I don’t think the Democrats have a hold on the mainstream media. MSNBC actually has real Republicans like Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan as pundits.
And if you were a true Democrat you wouldn’t feel comfortable voting for a party that is anti-union, against equal pay for women, against healthcare for children, against benefits for our veterans, and is happy to give corporations big tax breaks, even if they take their good paying jobs out of this country.

my grandfathers built this country.
Sarah is the only one who can get us back on track.
Go Sarah Go!
my family and all my friends will vote for you and John

There are a number of issues that keep me from voting McCain/Palin but these are a top three – a woman’s right to choose, creationism taught in public schools, and a military draft. If they get elected, I’m packed and ready to move to Canada and I’ll be happy to leave you fools to deal with the disaster of a “free” country in the hands of the republicans.

LOL, Palin is about as ready to fill the presidents shoes as I am to fill Mike Tysons shoes.
Jiff Woods

What’s the best way to honor Hillary’s historic run for President?
Appoint a pretty young beauty queen with a thin resume.
No offense, but I doubt McCain’s abilities. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen hard-working, intelligent, and tough women get passed up for promotion, usually by a gross old boss.
Pretty women get graded more sympathetically, get more job offers, get more second chances, people treat them more gently, are promoted more quickly, etc. (This fact is proven time and time again, in study after study.)
Looks aren’t an indicator of smarts or character… but if I am looking to hire someone, the last thing you want is someone who hasn’t had to prove their competence. And a heavier person with humble looks usually has to fight a lot harder or have a lot more raw talent to get beyond the first interview.

I am a dem voting for McCain/Palin — I know this drives the sexist dems on the orange site crazy — but it’s true. And oh by the way, Joe Biden — what a dolt — what a dunce.

Geraldine is suddenly relevant?

She’s from the second wave of feminists… she’s angry. She’s got an axe to grind. Anyone can see as much.
People like her give feminism a bad name. She gives the appearance that we are against men. When really we want women to be treated fairly.

When McCain picked Palin I was amazed at first. However, after studing her record and seeing just what kind of a woman this is, I could not be happier. She is a true independent just like McCain. He picked her because she is a woman of character. She and McCain stand strong on what they believe and they don’t make their decisions based on what the poles say will get them more votes. Even if you don’t agree with their policys you must at lease agree that the character of a person is seen when they stand for what they believe in even at great cost to them. Mccain proved that in Hanoi. Palin proved it by giving birth to her son four months ago. She believes in the value of all human life and because she does she has given a child life when others might choose to kill him. Both McCain and Palin are people of true character. Something that has been missing in most campaignes for many years now. It is time for a change. From no character to strong character. The value of a man and a woman is found in character.

“What’s the best way to honor Hillary’s historic run for President?
Appoint a pretty young beauty queen with a thin resume.”
1. Female politicians are always judged by their looks whether positively or negatively, and men are given a free pass. It does not matter what she looks like.
2. McCain’s motivation in picking Palin was to pick a like minded reformer. In the process he also solidified the Conservative base because Conservatives love Palin. It is also hoped some of that Hillary’s voters could be attracted to. But that is not the sole reason for Palin’s appointment for any reason.
3. Thin resume? It’s thicker than Obama’s. She’s more experienced than Barack Obama and he’s running for the top of thre ticket. Seeing Obama supporters use this line of attack is laughable.
4. Although I’m a woman I am not a huge Palin fan, nor was I a Hillary or Obama fan, but I do feel good to see women and African Americans rise to the top. I’ve been supporting McCain ever since Giulini dropped out and I vote for the top of the ticket.

Whatever credibility she once had, Ferraro has lost it. Honestly, folks, who gives a damn what she thinks!

Who cares what Geraldine has to say? She has already said she doesn’t like Obama because she beat Hillary and didn’t bow down to her demanding that he give up!! This is America, she can voye for whom ever she wants!!
Obama 08 anyway!!

Here’s to Geraldine Ferraro. She was the first to run the gauntlet and understands the ugly nature of politics as it pertains to women. And to Sarah Palin? Hang in there, governor. It is pretty obvious the press fears you. Independent, self-sufficient female governors as charismatic as you are a real media target. And one who can hunt, fish, and survive on the frontier scares them all the more! Keep hammering away at big oil, corrupt party members, and wasteful spending. You have a lot of support out here.

For those of you who question Ms Ferraro’s relevance ponder this. Ms Ferraro was obviously a Hillary supporter, and as a former Democratic candidate, she is under tremendous pressure to support the Obama / Biden ticket. Yet with all of that pressure, she refuses to endorse Obama. And now many of the Obama supporters claim that “No women are going to be fooled by the choice of Palin as the VP contender”. Well just in case you aren’t listening, the FIRST woman to try and break the glass ceiling is obviously tempted at least to support Palin in her bid to be the first to break the glass ceiling. And I suppose that the 95% support Obama is garnering among Blacks is not due in some part because he himself is black? I think the Democrats are fools to underestimate the impact Governor Palin will have. Their attempt to degrade all achievements and accomplishments of women, JUST AS THEY DID HILLARY will come at a cost for them.

Well if Ferraro is going to vote according to the issues, then she’ll be voting for Obama for sure.
But as to the other matter: Palin’s so-called executive experience. Being mayor of a town of less than 7000 people simply doesn’t count. If you use that definition of experience, she’s more qualified than ALL of the candidates, including McCain, who doesn’t have any executive experience either. That means she’s also more qualified than were JFK and Lincoln, neither of whom had prior executive experience before becoming president. Why not put Palin at the head of the ticket if executive experience is so vital? The lack of logic on the part of the right is astoundingly idiotic.
Let’s face it, Palin wasn’t picked for her experience; she was selected (on the spur of the moment it seems) to help shore up McCain’s flagging support among the extreme right wing of his party, and to try and steal former Hillary supporters (at least the dumb ones anyway). Short term politics just to win an election. It’s not about the country at all.
The choice was reckless and a possible sign of McCain’s decision making process if he ever became president. In short, wacky.

I don’t care who the President or VP is as long as they can pass the “William Wallace Test”.
Dude there’s a reason William Wallace was chosen by Mel Gibson it wasn’t because he had a cool sword, it was because the movie portrayed ordinary people being lead by someone who Inspired them to do extra ordinary things…
A leader needs to speak well in public at a level where people are standing in a state of positive shocked euphoria… can John McCain do this? No… The man can barley read off a teleprompter?
I’m not down playing the issue or trying to insult anyone, I guess I just don’t get it, I’ve read all the Anti Obama posts, and it seems to me that everyone against Obama just needs to open their eyes, listen with their ears, and believe in their heart of hearts, you have a guy with a proven track record who has organized one the best political movements in the last century and has a VP picked that has age old experience… It’s not even contestable, have you seen the excitement languishing around the GOP national convention… it’s like a bunch of people in a room grabbing at what once was…
