Ferraro was the first woman to be nominated as a vice presidential candidate by either of the two major parties. "If Ferraro were a white man, she would not be in this position... country is caught up in the concept." How's that sound, Gerry? How do you like it when some of that crap you're throwing comes back your way? Yeah, there are plenty of people who insist your only qualification for being the VP nominee was that you were female. That's pretty ignorant, isn't it? Might want to think about that before you start grousing about the most successful president we've had in many years.
