Ferraro's comments were not made to help Hillary...


Come on, now. Why else would she have made them? She was member of the Clinton advisory team, wasn't she?


No, you come on now. How could her comments have beneffitted anyone other than Obama? He's proven he's good at playing the race card to his advantage. (at least till the Wright thing made him unelectable) There was no benefit to Hillary out of it.


Hindsight's 20/20, MEM. In order to accept your interepretation of events one must assume that Geradline Ferraro, a vocal Clinton supporter, was trying to sabotage her campaign. Highly unlikely.

It's much more likely that Ferrarro, a long time feminist and former VP candidate, simply believed that she was making a legitimate criticism that would help Hillary and, unfortunately for them, it backfired.
