Ferraro Happy About Palin, Won't Reveal for Whom She's Voting (Jake Tapper, August 31, 2008, POLITICAL PUNCH)

Former vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro told National Public Radio's Jacki Lyden that she was happy to see Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who mentioned Ferraro in her remarks Friday -- on the GOP ticket.

"For 24 years I've been saying, 'It's great to be the first, but y'know, I don't want to be the only,'" Ferraro said. "And so now it is wonderful to see a woman on a national ticket." [...]

As for whom Ferraro will vote, the former congresswoman from Queens, N.Y., said, "I'm like one of you people, I'm sitting here working on my, on my decision. Y'know I'm a Democrat and I am a person who feels very strongly about issues that are facing this country so when I go into the booth I will make my decision."

And you thought the Obama camp was angry about Hillary's favorable reaction? Can't these dang women stick to the talking points?

Of course she won’t say who she’s voting for... & she shouldn’t have to either!!! The DNC threw her aside like crap when she dared to speak her mind on TV.

“Hahahahaha! This should cost Obama about a million votes, by itself! LOL Senator Obama screwed the pooch by dissing Hillary...”

The statement by Ferraro, the article by Kirsten Powers and the MSM’s articles like the one from the Times are indicative of the fact that the Palin choice is extremely troubling for the Democrats.

I saw Ferrero on FOX after McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his running mate. I know who Ferrero is voting for.

I just left the other thread about this, I am upset some dude was cursing her.
Ferraro has been the original PUMA since June. She was very appreciative of Palin giving her cudos in her speech Friday. She has said since June she does not know how she will vote. She also said that even with some democratic women who are for abortion, that may not be their #1 factor in deciding who to vote for, which I personally know is true. Rush is right,there aren’t as many pro choice NOW gang feminists out there as they would have us believe.

Wow is right. This is astounding. Ferraro considering crossing party lines? Unthinkable! Coupled with the many similar comments from the rank and file on the Hillary forums, and this has got to be an indicator of a tremendous potential - make that probable - groundswell for Palin. Wow agaain.

If Ferraro was voting for Obama she wouldn't have ANY HESITATION is saying so publicly. Plus, it became obvious a few months ago that she hates Obama.

The jerk called her a racist....heck yeah she’s voting McCain.

Now if we could just get her to speak at the covention and say.....

“I am a democrat through and through but after being smeared by Obama as being a racist I now know what it feels like to be a Republican.”

Here’s probably 10-20 million (minimum) of PUMAs.

Hillary Clinton Supporters For John McCain:

http://www.hcsfjm.com

Party Unity My A$$ PAC/People United Means Action PAC:

http://blog.pumapac.org

Democrats Against Obama/Nobama ever!

http://democrats-against-obama.org

Just Say No Deal:

http://justsaynodeal.com

Take a look around these sites for a half hour or 45 minutes....(there are hundreds more linked to these, just look for links)

It doesn’t look to me as if these sites have shut down just because Hillary and Bill endorsed Barack...and many are FIRED UP about Sarah Palin!!

“I don’t think many if ANY males can truly understand HOW important breaking the ultimate glass ceiling really is... “

It’s becoming painfully obvious that many do not. Mark Steyn does...wrote an excellent article on Gov. Palin.

“This is going to be A LANDSLIDE.”

I think the Dems know that....that’s the reason for the vitriol today.

The blatant sexism is astounding.

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

This is a huge diss to Obama just to fail to acknowlege she is pulling for the dem. Of course, they did call her a racist.....that might have pissed her off....pretty good.

Anyone want to bet Hillary herself is toying with the idea of pulling the lever for McCain/Palin? I don't care what she may say on camera, she has so much pent up hate for Obama, and the DNC for dissing her, that she just may do it.

Ferraro’s got to be disgusted about the garbage smears being planted about Palin’s handicapped son by parties unknown inside the Obama/Biden warroom.

She’s mellowed with age and in spite of party policy, she’s stepping away from the creepy win-at-all-costs attitude in the Obama camp.

Ferraro will endorse McCain/Palin - on Hillary’s orders.
