So Geraldine Ferraro finally stepped out of Clinton's group. I wish older Clinton supporters were more in the public eye. They make up the bulk of Clinton's support and Ferraro is a good example of their thinking. They truly believe the USA has changed so much that a Black candidate is a shoe in for the Democratic nomination and feel threatened by it.
In case you haven't seen her comments here they are in chronological order:
"if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position."
She told Sawyer she was "absolutely not" sorry for what she said.
“I really think they’re attacking me because I’m white. How’s that?”
It's now at the following step down:
"Dear Hillary –
I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign.
The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you.
I won't let that happen.
Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to make this a better world for my children and grandchildren.
You have my deep admiration and respect.
Gerry"
I think Hillary is going to have a talk with Geraldine tonight and we won't hear from here again. None of this is helpful for Clinton, it makes her look like she can't control her people at best.
