She was a great Congresswoman. She will be miss by a lot of us who believes in truth and democracy
It was Reagan's second term not his first. He ran against Jimmy Carter the first time.
She was a bright, funny woman. RIP Geri–condolences to your children.
RIP. the other day i found a mondale/ferraro pin at the thrift shop. I bought it, im gonna wear it today in her honor
I am a Republican, but with that said, had the greatest amount of respect for this very successful individual. Her opinions and stature will be missed.
Such sad news... I will never forget the support you gave to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 campaign.. we never forget people who helped us in 2008... may your soul rest in peace..
Very intelligent, and hard-working LADY. RIP.
Not like the loud-mouthlying nutjobs that the republican partiy presents for their version of "would-be presidential hags".
Geraldine Ferraro ran for vice president in 1984, not 1985, and that election gave way to Reagan's second term in office, not his first. These are really simple fact-checking issues, show some respect.
R.I.P. Lady of the TIMES!!!!
When you look at the caliber of Geraldine compared to the republican nut cases like Palin the Pathetic and Bachmann the B you see what real class used to be as compared to trash!
Very sorry for the loss to her family and friends. Very sorry for the loss to our country.
A very intelligent and classy lady. She contributed greatly to the womens' movement in our country. It is sad that some of the women in politics today do not conduct themselves in the same manner as she did. She makes a woman very proud of her gender-not ashamed of it. I'm sure I don't have to name names.
I am going to miss her on Fox News. She helped with the Fair and Balanced. Even if I did not agree with heer most of the time.
Ms. Ferraro was a huge liberal, so I can't say I agreed with her policies. However, I thank her for her service to this country. I wish her family the best through these tough times.
adversary obama now reaps praise upon ferraro. what an empty suit. what do you expect from a tool with no job experience. a media created failure.
