Geraldine Ferraro is at it again -- this time over Clinton as VP. She claims Obama won't be "gracious" if he doesn't offer her the slot.
******************************************************

I can't believe that she is still at it. Ms. Ferraro, while you have done great things for the cause of feminism, at this point you are simply becoming an embarrassment.

I'm beginning to think that Old Geraldine Ferraro is bought and paid for by the RNC. Look for her on Fox this week spewing this nonsense and non-issue to gin up controversy on the Veep subject. Her personal vendetta against Obama is pathetic and I really think that her and Lanny Davis need to get a room.

Obama jocks never want to hear the details or discuss anything that may have a negative overtone but the latest gallop polls show that Obama and McCain are very close.

Democrats seem to think that the election is a done deal (and I can understand why) but the fact is, Obama has not been elected and the race is just warming up.

And in this time when Democrats should be getting together you see these nasty sort of posts about Geraldine Ferraro because she speaks an opinion held by many in the party. If you don't agree with her....fine....that's acceptable...but why the nasty tone? Who's vote does that help earn for the party...for America?

Clinton does strengthen the ticket...it's a fact. You may not like it, but try to learn the art of political civility and show some respect to those that have done more for the Democratic cause than your blogs will ever do.

When did Geraldine Ferraro become a Republican?

"Not to worry; about 25% of HRC supporters are voting McCain.
Obama: CHANGE you can rely on DAILY "

If that's true, than all I can say is those 25% deserve all they are going to get from McCain! Nothing except more war, more money going to the wealthy, women without the same salary as men, an extremely conservative supreme court, more money going over to China to pay for the war, more drilling for oil, more global warming, no choice for women, soldiers not being eligible for college education so they have to stay in the service, more breaks for big business, etc. etc. Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to suffer along with them just like when they all voted for Bush!!! Are people really that thick that they don't realize when McCain says continue the Bush tax cuts he means mainly for the wealthy? And when Obama talks about going back to the tax code that was in effect when Clinton was president, it means tax cuts for people making under $250,000???? America is truly headed for trouble!

Do Clinton supporters really believe that bullying and threatening is the way to get what they want? Apparently so, and it's a sad situation. Now if they "sit on their hands" and refuse to support the Democratic nominee, it will NOT be their right to say, "I told you so!" if Obama should lose in November. You only have that right if you actively participate and VOTE!

uwj NY....

What a great set up. So if Obama doesn't win it will not be because he failed to convince enough of the electorate to vote for him...it will be the fault of the Clinton supporters.

Get over yourselves. I supported Clinton because I thought she was the stronger canditate, has a better view of the ways of the world but now she is out and I hope hope Obama wins. But if he doesn't it will be nobody's fault but his own.

Obama needs to find the way to build the Democratic Party and represent the interests of all that make up that party. If he does, he will win and he will rightfully get the credit for the win. If he doesn't he will lose and rightfully will be credited with the loss.

They are tearing apart the party for their personal interests, and I used to respect Bill more than anyone else in politics. So sad ...

Who cares about Geraldine? Look she was at best a weak legislator and advocate who was picked as Mondale's running mate because of her gender. Her performance as a VP running mate was dismal. She was a bigot back then and time has not changed her. She is less than irrelevant and I wish MSNBC would find something else to talk about.

You HillSuporreally have a lot of gaul to tell Obama supporters to "get over" themselves.

I personally don't understand your love affair with her, but to each his/her own. However, you HillSupporters are the ones who are still fighting a war that's already over. Do you REALLY think the Dems are going to nominate Hill at the convention? Do you think continuing to try and bully your way on to the ticket is helpful?

Bullying is the MO of the GOP. Is that the legacy you really want "your girl" to have?

I'm glad that you're supporting Obama now that the primary is over. It's troubling that so many Democrats are still in primary mode and using whatever publicity/leverage they have to voice opinions like Ferraro's which only serves to drive a wedge in our party. You're right, it's up to Obama to beat McCain in November. But he's getting plenty of negative attacks from the Republicans without his own party doing the same thing.

If feminism is supposed to be screechy and haughty and harsh, okay maybe Geraldine's got the right profile. Last time I checked, the Goddess was a woman of joy, mirth, nurture, warmth, and stern integrity. She's the kind of divine feminine who can sneeze or roll over in bed and half of us will be gone if we don't take better care of her planet. Let's face it, feminism isn't what it used to be.

What Ferraro and the rest of Hillary's backers are trying to do is sick. They are the ones that need to get over this BS. She will not be the VP and it's not because Obama don't want to. It is becuase of Bill and the mess that cames out of his mouth. No one really believe that Bill is a racist. But if you really look at the facts. Bill and Hillary just gave up on the blacks and as we know from her mouth that her backers are the "Hard working whites", with no education. What about the blacks and other groups of people, are they not hard workers also. So when she just started to focus on one type of people and that was them "Hard working whites", they made it racial. She said many of times, "He can't win". That was the code for becuase he is black. We are not dumb and I'm tried of these sick people trying to pull the wool of our eyes. We can see,read and hear. Someone need to drop McCrazie and Ferraro off at the ol'folks home, they both are lossing there mind.....

As for the other VP choices, then it is still so fluid that it is anybody's guess until it happens. I think that Rep. Cantor from VA isn't going to make it as the VP choice for McCain.

Geraldine Ferraro - go shut your face!!!

Hill said that she had 8,000,000 cracks in the ceiling. NOT! Don't discount the millions that voted her because of RUSH and his plan to have her win so the REPs. could rally against her, or the other million that were not comfortable with having a multi-racial president, or the million that voted for her because they USED TO LIKE BILL, or the million that voted for her because of name recognition only.

Hillary ran a flawed campaign and is still in debt for running when it was clear she lost. However Mr. Obama has managed to stay out of debt and above the frey the entire time. She lost fair and square.
