If Hillary Clinton is going to give Ferraro a pass on her race-bating comments, Obama should bring back Samantha Powers and announce that she has his full support.
If Hillary is going to give a wink-and-nod to this kind of discourse, while Obama quickly dismissed Powers for what is, IMO, a much less offensive remark, then Obama is the one who ends up looking weak. Not only that, but it becomes clearer to me, as I'm sure it does to many Democratic voters (and Republican, and independent) that Powers' comments now ring TRUE. Hillary IS a monster. She WILL stoop to anything to try to win this nomination, and it will WRECK the Democratic Party, and it's chances in November, across the board, if she wins this nomination.
That's what the story should be...
POWERS TOLD THE TRUTH!
TRUTH TO POWER!
