Remember Geraldine Ferraro?

I know, it's hard to place her...
She's rapidly faded from the scene. Again.
But not long ago she, a Hillary supporter, made the comment that Barack Obama wouldn't be leading the Democratic race if he weren't black. Was she simply doing the Clinton campaign's bidding, trying to gain it white votes by injecting race into the campaign? You decide. But a bit ago, Roger Simon had perhaps the wisest comment about her:

" Ferraro, 72, was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 1984, and if she said anything memorable then or in the years since, I can’t remember it. But she seems intent on making up for lost time."
