Barack Obama is where he is because of his race? Yeah, no kidding. If he's white, this race would have been over months ago. Ferraro probably wasn't as articulate as she should have been, although her comments were't taken out of context as she claims. She's simply of a generation that hasn't got a clue how to deal with race. She gets mad because African Americans are voting for Obama and not her candidate. Well, Ms. Ferraro, that's how it goes. People vote for candidates for all sorts of reasons and Mr. Obama has done an excellent job of gaining the support of one of the largest sectors of the Democractic populace. (If I recall, African Americans did not intially support Mr. OBama to the extent they do now.) It's kind of like what Ms. Clinton did with Hispanic voters in Texas. It's called politics. So, when you were criticized, it wasn't because people thought you were a racist, it was because we thought your comments were just dumb.
