ABC’s Good Morning America interviewed 1984 vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro in the 7:30 half hour on Wednesday, asking her about how Palin will handle the pressure of her speech. Robin Roberts tried to get Ferraro, a Hillary supporter, to condemn a video of Palin in a Newsweek interview suggesting Hillary Clinton’s “perceived whining” is not a help to women candidates.
Ferraro did lament it briefly, but went on to warn the media: “A lot of those PUMA [Party Unity My A--] people and I will be watching very carefully to make sure that you treat her just like anybody else. Go to her, her qualifications, go to her experience. Go to whatever you want to. But make sure it's done on a basis where she's treated like a guy by the media. No sexism. Because we'll be looking.”
Good for Ferraro!
I don’t agree with Geraldine on much, but she seems to be a very decent like human being.
She may never admit it publically, but based on what she’s been saying lately, I bet Geraldine pulls the McCain-Palin lever on November 4.
Yes, good for Ferraro, but she should be condemning what has already happened. It’s pretty obvious to me that there is plenty for Ferraro to be talking about right now.
This may be one of the first Democrats I can honestly say I like.
Good! Thanks for posting this.
Offhand, I’d say she doesn’t have to look too far.
Sad part is, in the early 1970s the left stole the Democratic Party and basically kicked out the populist, blue-collar oriented Democratic leaders. Now it’s happening again except the left of the 1970s was more like hippie leftists but with general American values. The new left that is trying to take control hates the Clintons, Ferraros and even the Harry Reids and (if elected) will “purify” the party in the image of Obama.
PUT THE P DITTY YOUTUBE RAP ON THE BIG SCREEN TONIGHT FOR 100 million PEOPLE TO SEE. That should garner some votes. He is your typical Obama voter.
Geraldine, it’s too late. They are trying to exterminate her....................
For instance "Hillary Clinton is a loud mouthed ugly old bitch in a pant suit" is sexist. "McCain is a pale old a-hole with messed up teeth" is fair criticism.
I’ve gained a measure of respect for Ferraro over the course of the primary season. She strikes me as a bit of a scrapper.
Never thought I would say it, but “thanks Geraldine”.
I saw one interview with Ferrarro where the “reporter” asked her who she was going to vote for. As a democrat, no one would have been surprised if she simply said “well, I’m a democrat, I’m voting for Obama.” But she didn’t. She said something like “well, I’m studying the two campaigns but I don’t think I should tell you who I’m voting for, that’s a private decision” or something like that. LOL!!
my wife and I have been saying the same thing
After how Obama and the media treated her she is still very angry and rightly so
Who knows, maybe she'll be speaking at our next convention.
I’ve been waiting for her to speak up. Good for her.
Oh heck yes. I definitely think she’ll be voting for McCain/Palin.
Didn’t she have to leave the Hillary campaign, because she was smeared as being a racist?
