As a black man, I will say, if Hillary is nominated, she will never get my vote.

I agree with her it is a fact!

You can keep telling yourself lies, Ms. Ferraro, but the real fact is that your comments were racist. And I wouldn't be surprised to learn your logic is screwy because you're just an angry old woman. You're no better than Sen. Clinton on her off-days.

Let's face it: nobody would even know who Geraldine Ferraro was if Walter Mondale had not decided to throw in the towel and make history by picking a woman - a woman, I might add, who was thoroughly unqualified at the time.

We also see that double standard conservatives always point out: if Ferraro was a Republican, a distancing statement by McCain wouldn't be enough. (If you don't believe me, go ask Earl Butz). He'd need to fire the guy - oh, and then those bastions of racial harmony - Jesse and Al - would keep screaming about how this 'proves' all Republicans are racist.

And any of you who think she's not doing this because she was sent out to do so? You're foolish. You know darn well Hillary wanted this done. That's how they play the game.

We believe that every man was made free…until of course we feel that we have to start shooting them down so we can get into power then they are below us.. Right constitution?

Just how Black is Iowa????? Remember who won in that State!!!!!

First rule in politics: When you see that you have dug a hole, quit digging. Second rule of politics: Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. Keep on talking there Geraldine………….

I agree with Ferraro 100%….the only reason is he's black…he has no experience…… not ready to be president….. and so UN AMERICAN…

bravo geraldine………for once your honest…

Can you believe Geraldine Ferraro's comments that if Barack Obama were white he would not be in the position he is. That would mean he would be someone like John Edwards. And John Edwards is…oops

It's a fact Mam. for those of you that like to see it differently go ahead and live in denial.

Geraldine is right! Obama doesn't have the resume and would have been out a long time ago, the media marketing of obama has given him more of a boost than he could ever have done on his own, and I have heard plenty of pundits including Bill Mahr he is voting for obama for "redemption."

You go girl!!! Obama's camp is racist!!!

Where has she been all these years? She should go back wherever she came from. Frankly if Clinton campaign does not remove her, Obama should bring Samantha Power back.

Ferraro is old politics at its best. Divisive, deceptive, and cunning.

She sounds a bit disgruntled if you ask me. This is Senator's way of dividing the country…

I have always respected Ms. Ferraro for being a pioneer in getting women more acceptance in the political arena. However she is HURTING Hillary's campaign with her racist remarks. And had she just left it at the initial "Barack is successful because he is black" comment that would have been bad enough. But no, now she is saying that she is only being attacked because she is white. And THEN she goes on to say she's not racist? She is the one bringing race into the conversation. I'm an undecided democrat and really I like both Obama and Clinton (anyone but a republican please!) but she needs to just STOP now. Ugh. I thought we were trying to look PAST gender and race in this election? Why then is she insisting on bringing it up?

"He won't win because he's Black… No wait.. The only reason he is doing good is because he Black." You guys are morons…. The guy is good at what hes doing…. Hillary is just getting her but kicked and now its because of his Color… Never mind that he has the backing of Utah, Iowa, Wyoming and many other states where White is the Majority….

Give me a break..

Geraldine, you know better than that. You can no longer express facts or tell the truth . . . you must simply toe the politically correct line or be crushed.

Silly woman.

She is correct. Anyone with any common sense will agree with Geraldine. That's why we older white women all support Hillary…been through the prejudice in jobs, know the truth.

She's not a monster, we just don't agree with her.

Whats good for the gander is good for the goose Hill, kick her to the curb.

Way to go Geraldine……someone finally has the guts to speak the truth!

Ms. Ferraro, you have a very unimpressive deck there. It seems to be full of LOW cards. You keep playing them. It's time for you to fold, you are no longer a player at the table. Shame on you.

It was racist and your lying to yourself by thinking otherwise

Give em hell Ms.Ferraro!

Even if Obama's race as a sole reason for his success were a fact, which is highly debatable.. by the virtue of the same accusation, one could conclude that Clinton is only where she is because she is a woman (and a former first lady at that).

Truly, she's an inspiration to millionaire former-First Ladies turned politicians everywhere.

Talk about a dinosaur!

Now I know why she never became the vice president of the US

As a white male, I voted for Obama, not because he is black, but because he speaks of his positions clearly. Clinton sounds like every other politician with her vague, double-talk replies.

They're attacking you because you're stupid!

doesnt Mississippi kinda sorta really make here statement a fact?

I will say that Ms Ferraro is wrong. I think that she is bitter she didnt get anywhere. I agree TRW, I will vote for Ralph Nader if Hillary is nominated! She DOES NOT have my vote!

During my tours in Iraq I've seen a lot of muslims who were christian. They all believe in the same thing. They all think Allah is great. They all believe if they kill americans that there are going to be 72 virgins waiting for them when they get to heaven. I just don't see why this has to turn in to a racial or religion thing. I don't think Hillary should say whether she believes he is or isn't muslim. That has nohting to do with this campaign.

There are no 'facts' to support her claim whatsoever.

Facts that appear to be emerging are that the Clinton campaign has resorted to painting Barack Obama as an Affirmative Action case in the minds of prejudiced voters.

Looks like Geraldine Ferraro wants to trade in being the VP who lost 49 states for being the race-baiting woman who tried (unsuccessfully) to derail the campaign of the first black president.

Nice work.

You are both a racist and radical feminist Ms. Ferraro. Your tunnel vision only sees the world in view of feminism and anything that goes against that you use the gender card. You are dispicable.

This woman is a washed up political has been and is just trying to grab a few more minutes in the limelight with tawdry racist remarks. She is obviously a racist and is willing to say anything to try to undermine Obama. Hopefully the American people recognize her nonsense for what it is - ignorant attempts at extending her 15 minutes of fame that rightfully ended long ago.

When Jesse Jackson ran for president he didn't receive the same amount of support from the African American community or the European American community as Sen Obama has received.

The same happened when Rev Al Sharpton ran in 2003/04.

So, there is something outstanding about Sen Obama.

Something that has made states where the majority of citizens are European Americans supported him over Sen Clinton.

If Ms Ferraro was correct in her statement, then Rev Jackson and Rev Sharpton should have been just as successful as Sen Obama.

Her statement was totally ridiculous.

African American have supported almost 100% every Democratic candidate for president over the past 40 years. All of those candidates have been European Americans.

Now that they, for the first time is giving their support to a candidate of African descent, we see the RACISTS in the Democratic party showing their true colors.

I hope African Americans are learning from these recent revelations.

The Independent and Republican ranks should see more African American joining them in future.

Geraldine Ferraro is the gift that keeps on giving-to the Obama campaign.

Given sufficient rope, she will hang not only herself, but Hillary's campaign, as well. Keep up the good work, G!

Make your colors show, woman.

This woman is clearly an idiot…I am not an Obama supporter or a Clinton supporter but someone needs to tell this genius that if Obama's campaign is successful because he is black then Clinton's is successful because she is a white woman!!! LISTEN TO THIS EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SHUT THEIR MOUTHS EXCEPT OBAMA AND CLINTON GET IT? SHUT UP AND LET THE CANDIDATES SPEAK SO THE PEOPLE CAN DECIDE WITH OUT YOU MAKING IGNORANT STATEMENTS LIKE THE ONE REFERENCED IN THIS ARTICLE.

There are so many contradictions in what she says, how can anyone take her seriously? First she says that she was in the same position as Obama 24 years ago except being a woman (now i know why we lost that election) but then she says that he wouldn't be in this position if he was a woman. Then she says that she wants to stick to the issues, but she's the one diverting the issue of politics. I can't believe there are people who think like this in the Dem Party. I don't think she's a racist, but that comment was certainly malicious.

"Ferraro also told ABC's Good Morning America that "every time" someone makes a negative comment about Obama, they are accused of racism."

When the negative comments are about race, don't we have every right to consider that racism? Criticize his policies or criticize his experience….but if you make racist claims, you will be called racist.

No, Ms. Ferraro, not everything negative said about Obama was considered racism, ignorant, but not racist. Not being ready as commander and chief, that wasn't racist. Releasing a photo of him in Kenyan garb (and saying it's Somalian), darkening and widening his features on a campaign TV ad, saying so what, Jesse Jackson won SC also, and having one of your top surrogates say the only reason he is the position that he's in is because he's black. Please Democrats, get a clue, stop supporting Hillary's racism campaign, we are better than that.

Clinton is using Ferraro as an expendable surrogate to appeal to the Archie Bunker voters in PA who will be turned off Obama's candidacy by the whiff of "affirmative action." It's patently untrue, of course, and completely shameful; Obama's qualifications are impeccable and actually outstrip those of Clinton.

But this is what the primary has come to, and if the DNC does not step in to end Clinton's quest to steal this contest through the use of superdelegates and poached pledged delegates, with a dollop of media-created "momentum" on her side–her only avenues to victory–the Democractic Party will lose in November.

Geraldine needs to apologize and resign. I am fearful that she may be discribing an under tow in this party. People who are not comfortable with race would rather vote for a woman as opposed to an equally , if not better qualified, man of color. Guess what ..Hillary is capitalizing on this issue in blue collar areas with the racial thing may be more prevelent. This party can not be so confident of NOV that they can alienate 16 % of this party , nor, risk the solid UNQUESTIONING Support of this very same group that has put this party over the top for many many years. I am insulted by this divisive mode induced into this primary season from the CLINTON side!!! How dare they seperate this party and country…….THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED NOW, OR I CAN ALMOST QUARANTEE YOU THE SUPER DELEGATES WILL. BYE BYE HILLARY

I'm a black man, and I think she's right… If Obama were a white man, he wouldn't be in the situation he's in today.

If he were a white man and he:

leads the popular vote
leads the elected delegate count
won 29+ states
won democrats abroad
electrofied crowds of thousands
was a qualified Senator
showed excellent judgement
was articulate
ran on a platform of hope
did not play "politics as usual"
had everything, including the kitchen sink hurled at him
did not get draw into muddy politics
was consistantly lied on
was constantly having his words twisted…

Yes, I'd say that if he was a white man, this country would be outraged that this nomination process was still going on. He would have been the nominee after IOWA… The media certainly wouldn't be trying to make him seem "questionable" as to whether or not he's worthy of be "Commander-in-Chief" So if you want to play the race card, which Obama has done everything in his power to stay away from, then lets call it like we see it. He has to do twice as much just to be on equal footing… Thats ok, we're used to it. You know what, just makes us stronger.

Nevermind this man's skin color… Elect him because he's the best man for the job.

Truth be told…nuff said…

Scott Hughes (ATL)

The Clintons dirty tactics never seem to surprise me. They stage this "oops slip" stupidity stunts just to inject there typical venom in the race. But "every dog has it's day" and if Clinton were to get the nomination she may very well need the black support that I hope she doesn't get for her continued desperation

Give em hell Ms.Ferraro!
I will second that avoteforobamaisavoteformccain!!!!

GO Hillary!!!

wow. When did she turn into such a racist idiot?

This is treacherous ground.If the Clinton campaign posesses the least amount of wisdomj,they'll remove Ferraro from their finance committee.If they don't take steps to distance themselves–definitively–from Ferraro's attack, they will encourage the very worst motives in voters.Is the Clinton campaign gambling that a racial divide within the Democratic party is in their interest, and could gain them a tactical victory in Pennsylvania? If so, they are playing with fire.

You have got to be kidding me. HRC needs to reject and denounce. Imagine that; lucky to be a black man in America. I guess that means any black man can get up, announce he is running for President, and actually have a shot at it. Nevermind his ability to lead, and inspire.

Is she for real? I don't think she's being attacked because she's white. She's being attacked because she has just uttered some of the most idiotic words of this campaign season.

The fact that Hillary has not removed her from her campaign says a whole lot. I am very disappointed in Hillary and wanted to think I could vote for her in the general if she won the nomination. She keeps pushing me further and further away. I don't think I could overcome the cognitive dissonance I would have after voting for her.

Sure…it's IN FACT racist.

Geraldine Ferraro is a racist. Demonstrated by her words and actions.
Knowing she is a Clinton fund raiser is affirmation that choosing Obama over Clinton is the right choice.

She is entitled to her opinion. Sen. Clinton is entitled to put what ever face she wants on her campaign. It certainly doesn't look like a coalition of people who are considerate and sensitive to others. It looks like the same old politics that I want to get away from.

It is also sad to see an intelligent woman behave this way.

What makes this so funny is that Ferraro made those initial comments last week, but Obama decided not to be offended by them until the day of a primary in a state that has been labeled racially polarized. THAT'S fanning the race issue. If he was offended, he should be offended when the remarks were made, not when it's politically advantageous for him to be offended.

How can she compare herself to Obama even 24 years ago?

She ran for Senate twice and failed, she had no major legislation, Obama's accomplishments while in public service trumps Clinton's.

And Geraldine says he is lucky to be in this position???

You are not allowed to state an obvious fact. What ever happened to freedom of speech? Are we living in a Communist country now?

Person A "gets an advantage" because of the color of their skin. Person B gets "treated unfairly" because of the opposite color of your skin. Person B thinks person A has no redeeming qualities and Person B can't see how her statements could possibly be offensive. You're not a racist?

Ferraro is off her rocker. Does she really think voters in Iowa and other predominantly white states voted for Obama because he is black? If so she needs medical attention. Obama has run the most color blind campaign of any candidate.

I think Ferraro hit the nail on the head & I admire her for making a statement like that. It was not a rascist comment. I feel most blacks are voting for Obama just because he is black & not because of the real issues at stake. If he was a white man he would not be ahead of Hillary. What the American people need to understand is a Vote for Obama is a Vote for Mcain and it is going to give us 4 more years of a government like Bush has done for 8 years. GOD HELP US ALL IF HILLARY DOES NOT GET IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

EVERY time someone criticizes Obama, they're accused of racism? Since when? It's happened, sure, but the idea that it's the prevailing reaction from his supporters is absolutely absurd. This reads as incredibly paranoid. But yeah, I'm probably just saying that because she's white. And a woman. Like me.

All of you agreeing, please explain how being a black man gives you an advantage in a presidential race? This is an absurd statement!!

Wouldn't a black man have already been president? Gee, how smart are we in this country?

See, I expected Ferraro to apologize and for this to blow over. I had no idea that she was planning to dig herself down to the earth's core.

I love second-wave feminists, but you 60's ladies really do have some GIMME GIMME, ME FIRST, NO, I'M MORE OPPRESSED issues with the black community, dontcha?

By the way a great author for her to read about this particular topic would be bell hooks (small b, small h). She is a well known author and professor at Boston College.

She's wrong. It's not a fact. Wasn't Jesse Jackson black? Wasn't Al Sharpton black? What about Shirley Chisolm?

It's not about race. It's about style. Get it right, Ferarro!

How can someone state an opinion and then claim it is a fact- that is the ultimate in hubris.

Isn't Clinton's marriage to a former president a little more politically convenient than Obama's skin color? If being African-American is so politically empowering, why has there never been an African American president?

Worth noting: Ferraro made similar remarks about Jesse Jackson during his presidential run.

Is she a racist? I don't know or care. A bit warped? Perhaps. Is she causing unnecessary drama for a political party that needs stand united to win in November ? Definitely.

Obama stands out because he is African-American. America is not nearly as racist as the African-American community thinks. And America is out to prove it by casting an affirmative action vote.

Obama has no real leadership experience. He has never run a business or a state. If he was white, he would not beat John Edwards.

Dear HRC,

This comment from your campaign is the FINAL STRAW in the series of comments in your campaign. You will NEVER get my vote because of your trickery and devisive ways. You will ruin the democratic party if you and your campaign continue with such foolishness and turn young voters, black voters, and high-educated voters like myself to the republican party or even worse to disenfranchisement.

Mrs. Ferraro may not be a racist, but she obviously cannot see past the color of Senator Obama's skin if she thinks that is the only reason for his success. My support for Obama is based on his message of hope and his sincere desire to bring people together to work for change in America. And Mrs. Ferraro is not being criticized now because she is white. She is being criticized for her completely superficial analysis of Senator Obama.

Part of this story should also be her 1988 comment about Jesse Jackson from a Washinton Post story: "If Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn't be in the race." Ferraro has a history of making absurd racially charged comments like this.

I dont' believe she's racist. I think her comments which were not well delivered or aticulated were taken out of context.

If educated people thought about what she said, you would realize she is right by perspective.

Whether or not it is fact, this is just another example of how the Clinton camp is using underhanded tactics to get this campaign season off the message of hope so that she can reap the benefits of a divided Democratic party. The Clintons were once my heroes but I have lost all respect for the way they have ran their campaign. It's a shame that a couple that once truly had the American peoples best interest at heart can now only think about whats in it for them. Go home Hillary.

I am a white woman who will not vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. The majority of Obama supporters I know are white. I am not sure what the media is doing by constantly trying to diminish Obama's wins- I actually heard one media outlet say that Obama ended Hillary's winning streak. . . her "streak" was one day- 2 actual states, compared to his 12. The media will decide who the nominee is well before Pennsylvanians vote.

Not racist?

Go tell Al Sharpton how lucky he is to be black and running for president.
All ya gotta be is black, right Gerry?

America will never be free of racist pigs until people like this woman are wiped out. Can you imagine her being your neighbor and you are not white? God will wipe all these swines out of humanity way.

She is despicable and a shame to all women!

I wonder why Hillary only disagreed with Geraldine Ferraro's statements. Shouldn't she have denounce…oops, I mean REJECTED them? I think Hillary is two faced and will do anything to become president, including playing the race card, which Obama, to his credit, has not done.

As a white "woman" I voted for Obama- not because of my white liberal guilt or he is black or I do not like Hillary. I respect Hillary but her message of "experience" is sth that I just cannot understand. What experience does she have and on what basis she is going to fight with McCain if she is banking on "experience"…Where as I can get his message of "change"…

I'm curious … what would have happened to an Obama supporter who said Hillary is only where she is because she's a woman?

Obama would've taken the HIGH ROAD and fired him/her! Too bad Hillary is encouraging the KITCHEN SINK approach.

"Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"

….but she's not racist.

RE: TRW: As a white man, I will say if Obama gets the nomination, I will write in Hillary. Geraldine was so right on with her statement. You supporters and the biased media have labeled anyone who questions Obama as a racist while you vote for OHB because he is part black. It's pretty clear to most Americans who is racist here- African Americans. BTW- if you think that your candidate is going to win red states, you really are naive! Anyone but Obama in 08!

Ferraro is basically correct in her statement. If any white or female candidate had a record as thin as his, they would not have been lionize by the democratic leadership as he has been. And after all that, his record in the senate is worse than it was back in Illinois.

Does any one really think Kennedy would have endorse a white candidate that still supports a minister that praises a racist and anti-semitic figure - say David Duke?

Ms. Ferraro, travel back in time and we will vote for you to finally divide USA. However be reminded that today, we are working for a unified America that eliminates your language. Those days you witnessed 'human ownership' are burried.

The truth is the truth. It may be uncomfortable to hear and think about, but it is still true. Obama would not be where he is if he wasn't an African American. Do you think he would be picking up 90% of the black vote otherwise? Honestly ask yourself that. Without that voting block he would already have been finished off.

Hmmmm….just a few days ago Camp Hillary called for one of Obama's volunteer staff (a female Proffessor ) to be FIRED for calling Sillary a "monster". She left the campaign. Geraldine Ferraro makes racial comments and stands by/repeats the comments and says she will leave if asked. Why isn't Hillarious asking?

For the record: Based upon Clintonian logic, Obama should claim he's the expert on health care for all the work Michelle has done in the medical industry.

Here we have woman who was not veted enough (or rather failed to disclose her husband's shady dealings) who led our party to one of its worst defeats supporting another woman who refuses to disclose her tax returns with a husband who the NY Times reports has had some questionable financial dealings. The last thing we need is another surprise that wrecks our party's chances in November. What are in those tax returns? This whole thing could be seen as an attempt at diversion from the Clinton camp.

This woman just happens to be telling the truth.

The race in Mississippi shows how racially divided this country is. The sad thing is it isn't caucasians doing it. They're voting for everyone from Obama to Clinton to McCain to Ron Paul, because they seem to be voting "issues" and voting fair and square. Can't say the same for the others. Shame on all of you for perpetuating what you spent a lifetime trying to get rid of. You set racism back about 100 years with this election.

As a white male in FL that is absolutely sick of negative attacks and using fear to get votes (just like Bush did in 2004), I support Obama because of his positive message and his policies. I have never voted for a republican in my life but I will certainly vote for McCain before voting for Hillary. She is certainly willing to say anything and use any tactic to win votes; even if the tactics are unethical, racist, sexist, or simply incorrect.
This fight between Obama and Clinton is dividing the Democratic Party and will certainly make a big impact on the election in November. Clinton needs to give up and let the healing begin.

Obama 08!!!!

Geraldine Ferraro is once again trying to play the race card for her buddy Hillary Clinton to divide the country rather then unite the country. She is Hillary Clinton's close friend and on her Financial Committee. Once again it shows the true Clinton machine in action.
Clinton's will do anything to win or steal the nomination, even if it destroys the Democaratic Party. I have been an active member of the Democratic Party for forty years and this type of behavior by Hillary turns my stomach. She has lost my vote.

what difference does it make…….CLINTON cannot catch up….and if florida and michican revote obama will be over the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination…..i just read an add that said obama has offset hillarys RESOUNDING victories in texas and ohio….lol….no way…..her net gain of delegates between the 2 states was 4people……this is all media hype…..the dnc needs to step in and call a hault to this before permanent damage is done……..OBAMA 08

As a bi racial lady (half white/half Korean) I found her comment very racist. She should be fired by Hillary, but I'm sure she wont. The Clinton camp love negative attacks, and they cant face the facts and blame others and never apologize.

Who here can think back to the school days and tell me the difference between fact and opinion? If it's a fact, then it doesn't need to be agreed with; it just is. Like saying you agree that water is wet. Fine, but it doesn't matter whether or not you agree because it is. The fact that we disagree over this matter is sufficient indication that it's not fact.

Anyone notice that the next article on CNN.com was that Obama's win in MS was defined by race?

It's a fact that race and gender still plays a factor in a 1st world contry just like it does in 3rd world countries.

It's a fact that Obama has had black's support but at the same time Hillary has had whites and women's support.

Would she be where she is if she wasn't a white woman and a former first lady? Would she have garnered the votes that she gets if she didn't have brand name recognition that she has?

There is always a bias in the way people think but I belive that if you are going to be a commentator then please do comment on both sides

I can not believe that someone actually lets this person on camera. Her comment was patently racist and a sign of a bigot. In the 80's, she made a similar comment on Jesse Jackson.

Here is the fact. Obama has won 26 states because he was a better campaigner, has a better message, and is the better candidate. Many of these match ups were in places where there was little to no African American population of sufficient amount (such as Wyoming, Idaho, etc.)

Second fact, Geraldine has been a supporter of Hillary Clinton since Day 1. The fact that her candidate is doing poorly has seen to impact her now.

Third, when John Lewis supported Hillary, where were these comments? When Barack was campaigning in Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, etc., where were these comments? Coincidence that these comments are floated at the last day of the Mississippi primary? Hmm..now all the pundits are talking about race and belittling the wins Barack had in SC, GA, LA, and MS. Nice play, Hillary camp.

Finally, the fact you say a racist ignorant comment is one thing. The fact the nation speaks up and says that such comment is wrong. The biggest issue is after you've been told how wrong you are, you go on national tv and state the comments again and blame everything on the now "black conspiracy", is just plain sad.

Please Americans, vote for change and vote for an end to this political spin game by the Clintons and their surrogates.

As for super delegates, do you really think at this point a continued election is good for the party? Do you really think you will ever have a party left if democrat elites, such as Geraldine Ferraro, steal the election for Hillary. Wake the heck up. Do your job and end this ridiculous campaign of Hillary Clinton.

Even though I really don't want a Republican in the White House this fall, can any of you grasp the significance that Hillary Clinton still has Geraldine Ferraro on her team?? How can any rational person reconcile the message of "change" and still employ Fritz Mondale's running mate? I honestly didn't even know she was still alive. Sorry, Hill, you're losing me here. In fact the whole "Bama for VP" thing is self-inconsistent and disturbing. If she can't manage her campaign team how is she going to manage Congress, the Supreme court appointments, Iraq, China, Russia, or any other significant agenda?

Ferraro is 100% correct.

The statement is stupid period. Obama is were he is at becasue he has EARNED it. He campaigned; people agreed with is agenda; they voted for him; giving him the lead in popular vote, delegate count, and number of states won. Thats why he is were he is at. Not because he is black.
Also there are just as many voters that WONT vote for Obama BECAUSE he is black.
Now we should question Ferraro if she supports Clinton because she is a white woman. Maybe she does but Clinton is not were she is BECAUSE she is a woman.
Thats why the statement has no place.

White middle age male for Obama!

I love how you Clinton Idiots keep naging on Obamas experience.

Look at your candidate! She's got nothing. At least Obama got where he was on his own, not through his spouse.

And Obama brings more to the table that W did in 2000!

And how is it all of you can read minds???? I'm white, so I voted for Obama as a novelty, and so did a lot of other mostly white states? Can I borrow your crystal ball???

Wow, what anger here. Even though I don't agree with most of her remarks, there are some that ring true. Every time a poll is done, someone cries racism. Everytime someone uses "words" that Obama doesn't like… racism. Everytime someone uses his middle name… racism. Call it like it is. She merely pointed out what SHE thought, not what Clinton thought. Besides, if there's not an issue of race, why did 90% of blacks in Mississippi vote for Obama?

Anyone who thinks this isn't about race and gender is kidding themselves.

Good point Peter — I too am a white man, and I too have voted for Obama. It has nothing to do with race as far as I am concerned. I am looking for a new type of leadership that can finally unite this country. That leadership is in Barack Obama. We already have seen how the Clinton gang divide the country, and McCain will be no better. Our only hope is Obama, not HRC that is for sure. The fact that they are using Geradline Ferarro in this way is so sad really. What a shame that our first woman VP candidate has to sully her reputation with this Clinton game of divide and conquer. Shame on them all.

Kelton, you dont have to hope that blacks will not support the "monster". They will flat out wont even bother to vote, period. Its time the DNC stopped her witchhunting somehow or its a republican win without a doubt.

Her comments are ludicrous. If black men were as lucky as she claims…there surely would have been more than 3 lucky ones to make it to the Senate in the 300 years that this country has been in existence.

The problem is that EVERYMAN that is been where Obama is right now has been White. The reason people are saying this is a rasict comment is because she is implying that Obama does not deserve to be where he is. That this is being handed to him because he is black. This is the same arguement people make against affirmative action. No matter what he has accomplished she's say it has nothing to do with his accomplishement but all about his race. He has been an elected official since 1997, longer than Hillary.. why does she deserve it?

His race is an issue as much has her gender is an issue, but no one is saying she is being handed anything because of her gender. Geraldine comments were ignorant. I dont think she is a racist, but the comment makes her look like one.

Clinton camp will say anything to undermine Obama. First they started by undermining his achievements: caucus states don't count, small states don't count, states with bigger African American population don't count etc etc. Then they started undermining his voters; prius driving latte drinkers vote for him, Obama girls vote for him, African Americans vote for him… etc. Now they are undermining his character… They simply can't accept that he is a good candidate with good ideas that people can relate to.

The way things are going Mcain will be the next president. I have seen it happen in New York when Bloomberg became mayor. The primary got ugly Green attacked his spanish opponent as being a puppet of Sharpton. The Democrats got so divided that Bloomberg won. The Democrats now seem to be just as divided and it seems very bitter.

James Carville, Ms Clinton’s chief strategist once called Pennsylvania “Philadelphia and Pittsburg with Alabama in the middle”. I think Ferraro’s comments were a calculated ploy to play the race card going into Pennsylvania.

If Clinton can make this about race she can win white Northern Alabama (central Pennsylvania). What better messenger to start such a gambit than an old sickly woman no one wants to beat up such as Ferraro. And what better way to fan the flames while staying out of the smoke than to offer a lukewarm disagreement, and then claim foul for previous unrelated transgressions. And wht better time than the eve of the Mississippi primary when Obama was already going to inevitably win.

I found it significant that the mayor of Alabama (Harrisburg), the only place in Northern Alabama with any kind of African American presence, Steven Reed was standing behind Ms Clinton during her speech last evening far from Harrisburg.

Rove has nothing on Carville when it comes to dirty tricks, and Clinton has said repeatedly that winning is the only thing that matters to her. The end apparently justifies the means, and the means are becoming very treacherous.

Well, this election has truly shown that the Dixiecrats are alive and well. How blacks ever ended up in bed w/these idiots is beyond me anyway. Now do you see the Clintons never meant you any good, they were only serving their own needs, not yours. We don't need more charity and welfare, get up, get out, go vote for hope and change.

geraldine is an idiot and anyone that thinks because Obama is black, that this is the only reason this process is still going on or that he is receiving all this media attention is crazy and stupid. Remember 8 years ago when this same process happened and both candidates were white. You people need to take race out of this issue.

It's funny how everything nowadays is being boiled down to race or sex. This whole primary has been mainly talk about a black candidate and a female candidate. I understand how it can be the main point of controversy but we should try to concentrate on the real issues that effect this country. As for Ferraro, I think she's ignorant to think that Obama is at his place in his life simply because his race.

Does anyone else agree?

Also for Geraldine and those of you who agree with her, Barack Obama is NOT successful because he is black. Yes, there may be people who vote for him because of the color of his skin. But there are just as many if not quite a lot more who do NOT vote for him for that very same reason. If Obama wins it will be because of his many attributes and because of his optimistic message for this country, NOT because of his skin color. To say that would be the same as saying Senator Clinton is successful due to her gender, which I am sure would draw fire from her side.

Where is the call to fire Ferraro from the campaign? Obama has done this without hesitation with staffers. This is a Clinton ploy to have these seeds planted in voters minds. These statements are not being made by accident and by the time the backlash rises to an untenable level the damage will have been done.

It completely defies logic that an African-American with a name like "Barack" could somehow have an easier time getting elected than a white woman from suburban Chicago who can loan her campaign $5 million of her own loot (let's see those tax returns). This woman was the first lady of a of one of the most well liked (at least among his party) Governers and Presidents in recent history. She was a partner at a prestigous law firm, a board member for many powerful companies. How can this be a disadvantage? Complete and utter nonsense.

The only thing that has disadvantaged Hillary Clinton is her poor timing and caustic personality. When people really wanted hope and change, she offered more of the same. Let's face it people, she has simply been out strategized and has not been able to stay on message. Race baiting has been her only effective tactic, I only hope the American public is not foolish enough to fall for this.

Ahh. the racist democrats show their true colors, again.. They hid them for many years, but we all know that WV Dem Senator Byrd was in the klan and the south used to be all democrat, well until the Slaves were freed by a Republican President.
When will you liberals ever try to live in reality?

Her comments are sanctioned by Clinton. The purpose is to divide his base, that includes such a cross section of voters, he will win. She needs to turn people against each other to beat him She has decided race will be the tool she uses!

Our Democratic Party must move beyond the simplistic and destructive race-identification / gender-identification political framework. Ms. Ferraro's comments are a gift to Republicans. By and large, the Obama campaign has tried to run a positive, people-centered campaign. His many lop-sided wins across the country, in states with widely varying demographics show that he can effectively carry the banner for the Democratic Party. His wise and strategic campaign to beat the "inevitable" Hillary Clinton shows he has the intelligence and self-discipline to be a good President. His 160 pledged delegate lead shows that he has understood and embraced the electoral process.

We've just gotta grind it out now. I hope when Clinton's probability of securing the nomination dwindles to nil, she has the wisdom and the grace to concede.

Looks like Ms Ferraro has a history of saying this…note her attacks against Jesse Jackson when he was running against her. Also, if the only reason she got the VP nominee was because she was female, why didn't she decline it then, in the best interests of the country?

If it's a fact that Obama's race is the main thing in his favor, then what about Hillary? Would a male presidential candidate, black or white, be excused for getting stressed out and crying during an interview? Would she have got this far without riding on the coattails of her husband's name? Are the females who in large numbers have voted for her done the same, if she were a male, black or white? If certain things are 'facts', then those facts cut both ways.

The media is campaigning for Obama. Maybe it's about time they campaign for Hillary.

You Go Girl!

All of the racist comments, have come from Hilliary's camp and it's always before an election in a state where blacks have an important role. In Mississippi, there has been a racial divide that has been going on forever. Mississippi just stopped share-cropping YESTERDAY, so why shouldn't the votes fall separately. That is a primitive state in the United States. It is a Republican state for that reason. There is a lot of hatred in the state, it is no different from Jena, Louisiana, FACE IT.

To Tired of Clinton:
Even as a "white" woman- your message made me cry..it touched me heart

I am really hurt by Democrat Party today.

When I am ready to move beyond this black and white..when I am ready to be color-blinded- you are still NOT ready to move beyond it…

As a successful African American male, I am once again offended by the ignorance that permeates throughout the comments of Mrs. Ferraro. While she may not believe her comments to be racist, they are very similiar to the comments of organizations such as the KKK which tend to relegate all of our accomplishments to our "privileged" status as black people in this country. Next she will be talking about welfare and how we all look for handouts rather than trying to work hard for what we get.

My experience has tended to run contrary to this wildly held American belief. I have found that I have had to be better than everyone else with better credentials in order to get the same job. I would contend that a white man with the eloquence and charisma of an Obama would already have the nomination for his party. And that in fact his color has hurt him with large blocks of voters that are not comfortable with an African American as a President.

The only good thing that can come of these ridiculous statements is that perhaps Americawill once again openly dialogue about issues like this because the only way these types of misconceptions can be addressed is for both races to become more aware of what it is really likefor the other. Until this happens, Mrs. Ferraro' s comments will continue to be thought and not said. At least she had the courage to be open about her feelings though misinformed they might be.

Wow , some of the comments on here underscore that we still have a long way to go in erasing the ignorant and prejudice attitudes that have haunted this great nation for so long. There is no doubt that there are some who vote for Obama simply because he is black and there are some who vote for Clinton simply because she's white, but if the entire democratic race to this point was based on that logic, Clinton would have already wrapped this thing up. Obama represents much more than an African-American vote and if you believe otherwise then you're probably one of those aforementioned people that vote for Clinton only because she is white.

McCain won because he was white, Hillary won because she has women, Obama won because he was black. Give me a break! I was shocked last night when I heard Geraldine Ferraro in an interview stating that Obama better back off or she would not help in fundraising in the GE. The Clinton campaign is very divisive. This election is turning into a circus. Obama continue on with your campaign and we shall suceed.

Geraldine Ferraro is a no-body backing a losing candidate. Her 15 minutes were up long before the first vote was cast in her losing ticket for VP.

She may not see her comments as racist or sexist and that is really not the point. Her arguments could easily be used against Hillary. Hillary would not be where she was if she were a man.

Good for her. She said something that everyone knows to be true but most people feel bullied into silence by the ferocious Obamaton counterattacks.
The Obama folks make it part of thier game plan to attack anyone who dares to speak thier mind when it involves criticism of Obama.
Strange that he who holds himself up as above the racial divide is the first to scream racism when it involves any criticism of himself. Criticism is not racism.
By the way her comments were actually taken from quotes by Shirley Chism and Carol Moseley Braun, so Obamatons chew on that awhile.

These angry old women need to take a breather and let the youth take this great country into the future.

The future is ours. Vote Obama '08!

Black, white or purple, Obama is running a better campaign, raising more money, and impressing more voters than Hillary. That's really what Geraldine is upset about.

I am a 40something WASP, married to a Latina. I lived in the same neighborhood as Ms. Ferraro in Forest Hills, Queens, America's melting pot. Yet, generationally, the idea of personal identity and its indicators (race, ethnicity, gender, religion, shoe size… are attributes that SHE has conditioned come FIRST for the candidate, rather than their personna, ideas and impression of leadership style. For HER, she sees herself as the selected nominee as a female, at that place and time, as some element of tokenism. SHE SHOULD SPEAK FOR HERSELF and not try to characterize the groundswell of backing and support for OBAMA. Her remarks became dated, generational and racist when she attributed the MOVEMENT FOR OBAMA as primarily related to the phenomena of his being black. Although it might seem like I'm spliting hairs, it is significant. She belittles the movement and the genuine support for OBAMA as the PREFERRED CANDIDATE over her dear friend, Hillary Clinton. And, Hillary, by the way, was a viable candidate because of what she brought to the table, with her gender as a secondary attribute. However, Hillary is not the candidate of choice for the WHOLE PACKAGE - ideas, personna, leadership style.

Hillary says that Ferraro's comments are her own, but she needs to go further and repudiate them, or she belittles the premise of her own quest and campaign for the Presidency.

Hey Hillary, FIRE her NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Geraldine Ferraro has appeared unreasonably angry at Barack Obama since his campaign unseated Hillary Clinton's front-runner presumption. She has been angry all over the media before this - this last tongue-lashing has finally made the news and finally whiplashed her. It is so sad that the angry and insulting persona has now defined the Clinton campaign, and has again hurt women as a consequence.
Do we really want to go back to the Clinton wars, even with a woman's face?
All the women in this family are voting for the future, and for Barack Obama.

Let's put it this way: because Obama is black, the media thinks its okay for the Clintons to say he should be VP (this is the Rosa Parks syndrome, the media just wants to say that he can't sit on the front of the bus when he is leading in pledged delegates), that Florida and Michigan should be seated when Obama wasn't on the ballot, and that Hillary Clinton can still win the nomination even though she would have to win by 60% in every remaining state. And let's not forget that Hillary still has more superdelegates than Obama, even though he is leading in the popular vote and in pledged delegates. That is because of racial bias. And by the way, I think it would be good for CNN to discuss what will happen to Hillary when she wins the nomination (it probably will happen because no matter how far ahead Obama is, he has to sit in the back of the bus), because she'll lose the liberal white vote and the black vote, as well as the votes of many white voters (let's not forget CNN, before you decided that there's such a racial divide, you forget that Barack won in states with little or no black populace, such as Iowa, Wyoming, Colorado, Vermont, etc.). I don't think these voters simply voted for Obama because of his skin color. That is an obvious insult to their intelligence. Imagine if an Obama supporter would have said that gender is the main factor in the women's vote for Clinton? I really think that Hillary would have become hysterical. LOL! What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

If he were a white man, the Clinton campaign would have conceded by now opposed to play the race card.

This woman is hurting the Democratic party and more importantly, she's hurting America. Someone needs to shut her up. To come out and say that Obama is where he is because he is black, and then accuse the other side of racism because she was called out on her original comments is beyond ridiculous. She is appealing the worst in human nature and I for one am disgusted.

I really don't think you can be so general as to say his success is because of the color of his skin. True, there are states where a large portion of the population is black and has voted for him. But in those same states, a large portion of the white population voted against him for that reason. Racism can run both ways, that's true too. But it doesn't make it right. I believe that both of these candidates have gotten to where they are for several reasons:
name recognition
history making
some experience
some inspiration
but most of all, I think that they're where they are because the Bush administration has all but destroyed our nation. I think that's why dems are out in record numbers. If the two candidates were in their positions solely because they have what it takes, they wouldn't actually be there. People like Biden, Dodd, and Richardson would be in the front and the history makers would be long gone.

This is a very precarious situation we're in. Times like these call for reality checks for sure, but they call for RESPECT even more.

Ms. Ferraro has been in politics too long to make such an ignorant statement. Americans will continue to set themselves back with this type of mentality. Senator Obama is winning because America wants a change from the norm. Clearly, Ms. Ferraro is stuck in the past and definitely stuck on stupid.

Th statement that Senator Obama is as successful as he is in this race is based on his race is obsurd. He is succeeding because he is qualified, his politics are different and the people of America are ready to move beyond race. Apparently Ms. Ferraro is not ready to move beyond race, she is not ready to accept the fact that a man's content and character are more important than the color of his skin. Ms. Ferraro needs to close her eyes and see Senator Obama as the man he is — educated, good for American politics, a man of good character and more importantly, a man who refuses to subscribe to the low tactics that many politicians are subscribing to because they are behind in their political aspirations.

Ms. Ferraro, Senator Obama is being nice to you albeit undeservedly. On a personal note Ms. Ferraro, Senator Obama does not need you, he's doing a fine job fundraising and getting his message out. Having you campaign or fundraise on his behalf will set his campaign behind. Your day has come and past, let's keep it that way.

The Democratic party and some of its constituents have shown me in the past month that they are really no different than republicans, the one thing that deliniated the difference between the parties for me in the past was the attitudes regarding race. It seems that the majority of white democrats arent as liberal as people think. The liberal faction is a minority in the democratic party and the predjudiced folks seem to hold the keys to hillary success. So the line that separated the republicans and democrats in regards to race has been obliterated, IMO.

It has now been suggested by latinos that they dont vote for Obama for two reasons, #1 the Clintons have name recognition and #2 Obama is black. It has been suggested that Obama wouldnt be where he is because he's black but thats an out of place affirmative action reasoning and When Obama defended himself and denounced that statement it was said he attacked that person because she is white. Anytime a black person earns a much deserved spot it is some how attributed to race and special circumstances created for US.

Its painfully obvious that the Clintons will seek to win by any means necessary including playing the race card insidiously because they have some evidence that crap will work. The Clintons are political chess masters and theres a rhyme to any reason they do anything. They are not as stupid as people think. But they are smart enough to destroy the party in the process to get what they want and in striving to have it their way only, they are no different than bush and rove.

I would encourage all black people to take a cold hard look at the democratic party and ask yourself what has the party done for you to warrant your membership.

if Obama loses the nomintation because of political strong arming, vote republican.

Great post Tired of Clinton

Okay lets see Barack is getting most of the Black vote because why? Is that not racist? Please explain the difference. Lets be real.
Lana

Her comment is ridiculous. Obama has a better political resume than John Edwards did when he ran in 2004. Edwards came in 2nd and was the VP nominee. If a first term senator with no previous experience was qualified, why not a first term senator with eight years of previous political experience?

If bad things happen to Ms. Ferraro - she says it is because of the racists.

If bad things happen to Ms Clinton - she says it is because of the right wing

Are they seperated at birth - are they twins?

She ought to be ashamed of herself. Her comments are self centered and low blows to the Obama campaign. Anybody who agrees with this dinosaur of a woman should explain to me how Obama won Utah, Iowa, Maine, etc. Not only did he win southern states with strong black populations, but he won random states that most people discount. He won because his campaign doesn't care about your race or gender, it's about people. Obama is trying to unite, not divide. Shame on you Ferraro.

I suppose that everytime someone makes a negative comment about Hillary, they are sexist.

It was a racist comment and she knows it. Senility seems to be the norm of Hillary's top advisors (Ferraro & Bill).

It seems the Clinton's want African-Americans to follow, not to lead.

A "fact" must have some basis of support. What is the support for this fact? It is Ms Ferraro's opinion. Actually my opion is that this is Ms Clinton's doing - who put her up to it. If all you need to support a "fact" is a strong opinion - then let's just say that this too is a "fact".

I find it very interesting that the Clinton campaign jump down the Obama campaign's throat for an "off the record" comment. (that almost everyone agrees with. Now that someone on her campaign makes a blatant racial comment, Clinton only says that she does not agree with her statement but everyone has the right to express their opinion. Why is it that she hasnt asked her to step down, when it would be the right thing to do.

She IS right.

What other presidential candidate has ever been taken seriously, when he hasn't even FINISHED his FIRST national senate term?

Ok, next, why is Obama?

Hmmm

I'm interested to hear where Geraldine's logic comes from when she says Obama is where he is because he's black. Obama is where he is because he's a uniter. Obama being black wasn't winning him the popular vote with African Americans 2 months ago. Where's her logic?

This woman's comments are horrendous and extremely offensive. She should be fired immediately. She is obviously speaking on behalf of the Clintons and they are saying anything to win. If Obama looses this nomination because of Clintons' racist comments and antics, I will NEVER in my adult life vote democrate again. This is ridiculous! Blacks are discriminated against more than any other race on this earth. When Blacks finally make a little progress, idiots like Geraldine intercept with racists acts and remarks. God - please help our country!

God Bless Obama!

Angelina Julie
How can you explain states like Vermont, Colorado, Minnesota, or Wyoming? Did he win because of the huge black population?

As a black male, I happen to agree with Ferraro's comments as being fact. I dont agree however with the timing of her comments, I think all will agree that the Clinton camp knew exactly what they were doing when she made that comment, but oh, well thats how the game is played right.

Unfortunately politics is dirty, and for the first time there are two candidates that have achiles heels that WILL be exploited… He has his race to deal with…..And she has her husbands indescretions.

MCCAIN and LEBERMAN… thats my choice!

Why is everyone so upset? She told the truth and the exits polls back up her statement. Based on everyone's reactions, this just goes to further show our country is not ready for a black president.

when you talk about experience, who was actually qualified to run this country, do you have to have money, be an actor, What ?, you jump in and learn a job, just like any position

Hillary needs to finally accept responsibility for the talking points of her most noteworthy supporters. After such a retaliation against Ms. Power, Hillary needs to step up and act like a better candidate for President of the United States. Not another "fingers in my ears George W Bush".

Eventually, Hillary will need to realize that she can't effectively spin her way out of this and learn to choose better noteworthy supporters. Case in point, Gov. Spitzer.

Come on Hillary, it's time to accept responsibility for your people and act like the position you keep on telling us that you're ready for 'on Day 1′. Again, Obama has shown us that his judgment is clearly better and more well defined, despite his own political best interests. As a Southern white man, I voted for Obama and he continues to show me that my choice was correct.

Head on back to NY, Hillary. It's a state you won.

I'm sorry, but we are too caught up with there being a "first" black or female president. The Clintons and Obama are politicians. They will say whatever necessary to get the job. I don't think that Sen. Obama is any cleaner than Sen. Clinton. The worst part of that is that you don't know until it's too late… Then you "hope" and "Believe" that it AINT True!

I'm almost certain CNN will not publish this truth I am about to tell but I will attempt it anyway. This comment is apart of the Clintons "Southern Strategy" and "Maestroh" is dead on point! She was sent out and no one knew who she is. Fact is how do you get away with a comment like this? Why, you send out the old "Lady"(woman) whose not "Bill Clinton" to say it and plant it out there. Hillary's been playing the woman card successfully and been getting away from it. They are only doing this to rally the White Voters and Closet Democratic Racists who need/want a reason to be upset b/c a black candidate is "finally" appealing to more than African Americans. It almost appears as if Hillary is strapping a bomb to herself to take the whole party down if she doesn't win and take away the true chance of a Democratic whitehouse if it's not her.

Here's a fact. Hillary is only in this race because people think electing her is the same thing as re-electing Bill. Take away Bill, bye bye Hill.

When this race started I preferred Obama, but thought I would be satisfied with Hillary. Now, if Hillary is nominated I will vote for McCain. I am starting to understand why half the country despises this woman. She has earned my distain throughout her campaign. Not denoucing this kind of ignorant drivel, is as good as endorsing it.

He has no experience, yet he is where he is today because he is a black man??? Ok!!!! Right…that makes a lot of sense. This is America right???

Would Clinton be where she is, if she didnt have that last name? Those power hungry Clintons need to step aside, so we can have a change in this country.

what a pitty? I suppose the Reverend Jesse Jackson was white? the bane of the clinton campaign is their failure to recognize that Barack Obama represents something Americans and world are craving for. its not his race.

As Rodney King, one of our nation's finest put it: "Can't we all just get along?"

wow. If anyone is playing the race card, its not Obama for condemning her first round of comments but Mrs. Ferraro for bringing up all this race nonesense again. This is no different then how Bill tried to make it all about race in South Carolina - the Clinton strategy to make Obama the "black candidate" instead of just the "candidate" based on his on merits and strengths.

Obama quickly canned Powers after a remark that Clinton found offensive, yet Clinton seems like she is encouraging it and I wouldn't be suprised if some of these comments aren't actually "plants" just like that student who was a plant at one of her rallys a month or two ago.

How did Bill do with the blacks when he was running ?? thought he was the first black president… to me he looks kinda white

But it is ok for women to stand behind Hillary…

@ Tired of Clinton

AMEN brother, AMEN!!!!!

Hilarys new campaign stategy is to connect with the Archie Bunkers in PA. We will hear a lot more about race and gender as we get closer to the primary in April.

Wake up America!

Obama needs a thorough examination of his ties with radical groups and criminals in Chicago.

He has lied about his tie to Rezko during one of the debates.
He has said he denounces a radical Islamic Farrakhan but continues to attend a church that supports Farrakhan.

Read about Farrakhan and Rezko. Then think about who has real problems.

CNN:

PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK: FERRARO SAID THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT JESSE JACKSON IN 1988. THERE'S A PATTERN HERE.

Please lady, Shut up!

This is ridiculous! Ferraro is right. America is in love with this narrative of race. BTW, why doesn't he ever talk about his white mother? He is multi-racial, and that in itself is a beautiful (and very American) thing. He has created this race issue, not Hillary. This is how he has garnered support. This is what he has banked on, and I can say this because I am black–so don;t you dare call me a racist!

Also, Ferraro is an elected official, it is not the same as Susan Power–a professor and campaign worker, you cannot fire a respected member of the DNC.

Hillary Clinton 08′ - The candidate that has brought about change for African Americans, not just empty promises

Just think of the backlash Obama would have gotten if someone from his camp said Clinton would not be where she is if she was not a woman or Bill Clinton's wife. More to Geraldine comment though, Obama is not the first black person to run for president, but has been the first to make such an impact. So that tells me that it
