Ms. Ferraro certainly has an odd view of the world. She sees an American society in which being black is an advantage - seems to believe you can quantify human misery...and then rank it to your own political advantage.

What Geraldine Ferarro said about Obama isn't entirely without merit -- it just entirely misses the fact that there hasn't been a candidate in our lifetimes that didn't benefit from a certain appeal due to their height, wealth, race, name, faith or smile.

When Ferraro was named the Vice-Presidential candidate in 1984, the national reaction was: "Geraldine Who"? Does anyone really believe that this Democratic Party water-carrier was put on a national ticket for anything other than her lack of a Y chromosome?
