Geraldine Ferraro, remember??
Geraldine Ferraro was an American politician, diplomat, and attorney. She served in the United States House of Representatives from 1979 to 1985, and was the Democratic Party's nominee for vice president in the 1984 presidential election, running alongside Walter Mondale.
Shirley Chisholm, 1972, remember??
Charlotta Bass was the Progressive Party nominee for vice president in 1952.
Former Wyoming Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross was a candidate for vice president at the 1928 Democratic National Convention.
Laura Clay and Cora Wilson Stewart received one vote apiece at the 1920 Democratic National Convention.

Hell of a lot more experienced than what we got.
