Message to Geraldine Ferraro: STFU
Man, she loves listening to her own voice. Here is a link to her saying she doesn't know yet if she will support Obama/Biden and what a good choice Palin was. I hate these democratic establishment fossils are who are so needy for attention they will do or say anything.

Any democrat who is a Fox "news" contributor isn't a democrat

3. So did I, Navarth.
Ferraro is a Republican shrill now.

What a disappointment!

6. Well, we Dems haven't been very good at chosing VP's recently!
Until NOW! I think Biden was an excellent choice, but I was very disappointed when Ferarro & Leiberman were picked!

8. that seems to be a theme with our failed Veeps
Ferraro
Bentsen - quite rightwing Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration. Robert Reich said "unfortunately, Bentsen himself was no JFK"
Lieberman - enough said
Edwards - has not sold out to the rightwing yet, but sunk by an affair.

4. Ferraro's selection in 1984 was alot like Palin's selection now
although her resume was much stronger as well

BA in English from Marymount Manhattan College
J.D. degree (with honors) Fordham University
Assistant DA Queens County 1974-78 and department head of the SVU
US Congress 1979-1984.

She never claimed to be very liberal though, from Wiki

"Ferraro ran for election to the House of Representatives from New York's 9th Congressional District in Queens in 1978. The district was known for its ethic composition and conservative views, and was where the television series All in the Family was fictionally located.<2> In a three-candidate primary race for the Democratic nomination, Ferraro labelled herself a "'small c' conservative".<2> She emphasized that she was not a bleeding-heart liberal; her campaign slogan was "Finally, A Tough Democrat".<8> She won the primary, and then won the general election as well,<7> defeating Republican Alfred A. DelliBovi by a 54–44 percent margin."

5. She was far more qualified than Palin, but she's still an idiot.
Faux News' favorite "Dem."
