		<description>I think Ferraro had a valid point - Obama is a very young, new Senator and if he was &quot;just another&quot; white male junior Senator he would NOT be in this position. Certainly, we can see that John Edwards wasn&#039;t so lucky being a white male this particular year.

The media &quot;made drama&quot; around it - as they have obviously enjoyed doing this election. 

There are a LOT of different elements that have worked against Hillary Clinton in this election. 

It&#039;s not fair to place blame on Geraldine Ferraro for voicing a valid opinion about what makes Obama so appealing for many voters. 

We can only control what we say and not how other people will react to it. If people are looking for a reason to take offense - and I think they were looking for a reason in this case - they&#039;re going to find that reason. 

Certainly there is plenty to say about Hillary being a woman - some good and some bad -  depending on who you are. I&#039;ve heard tons of commentary about Hillary&#039;s feminine status that has been very unkind, but hasn&#039;t created the kind of media uproar and outrage that Ferraro suffered.

You&#039;re point is valid - women do need to watch what they say in the business world. 

But, I think it&#039;s also true to say that women are expect to censor themselves more than men in the business world as well. 

It&#039;s a very tight rope and a very fine line women still walk. Tread carefully - but for God&#039;s sake tread!</description>

		<description>I think that Ferraro is right. The clip contains &quot;analysis&quot; that consists of nothing but politically correct platitudes.

That is the real weakness of the democrat party.
Obama has no qualifications whatsoever, but he is charismatic and he is black.

Even Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were given a place at the table in previous elections, but they were not viable because they were racist and divisive.

Wait until the riots in Denver before you start getting worked up over the split in the Democrat party!</description>
