As I mentioned to Zeus, a white guy with this much talent and speaking ability would have been coronated long ago. He has had to overcome the fact that in some states, Mississippi, for example, 70% of the white population voted for his opponent. Racism is much stronger in America and even in The Democratic Party than is the idealist hope that a black or a woman will some day be President. Ferraro's comments are very much like those of a buddy of mine who believes that all African-Americans who have an important job are "quotas." Racist and non sensical.

I disagree with you on certain points. If I said that Hillary Clinton wouldnt be where she is today if she wasnt a woman and hadnt been married to Bill Clinton , I would probably come under similar attacks even though my statements are truthful as well. Statements can be truthful and still have offensive implications. If someone from the Obama campaign made remarks such as the above what do you think would be the response from the clinton campaign?
