So Geraldine Ferraro stepped down from her role in the Clinton campaign because she said this obviously bigoted and racist comment:

“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept,” she said.

Anyone else see this as just a little scary? Read it again…is it POSSIBLE she has a point? There’s an equal chance she’s WAY off. Quite possibly Obama’s popularity isn’t at ALL attached to his skin color…but in what way is having the opinion that race is a powerful force behind his popularity off-limits?

Has the political correctness gotten so intense, Geraldine Ferraro can’t have an opinion about the role of skin color in a Presidential campaign?

The Democratic party is slowly losing its mind.

Turns out Clinton bought stock footage from 10 years ago for the TV ad of a little girl sleeping soundly in bed while Hillary answers the phone and keeps her safe.

Obviously the girl didn’t even know about it until her brother noticed on Jon Stewart’s show last Thursday. She prefers Obama’s “positive view of the future” to Clinton’s “fear-mongering”:

Knowles, a high school senior at Bonney Lake, Wash., turns 18 next month. She has been campaigning for Obama and attended his rally at Seattle’s KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate’s hand.

At least she didn’t faint:

Democratic Michigan and Florida Revotes–by mail.

Now this has the potential to be a huge nasty disaster:

Even if a consensus emerges, the answer to a key question — who would pay for mail revotes — remains up in the air. The states have said taxpayers won’t foot the bill. And Mr. Dean insisted the national party would be saving its money to defeat the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain.

“The first thing we’re going to do is follow the rules,” he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” For the party to feel united and defeat Sen. McCain, “the loser of the race has to feel that they’ve been treated fairly within the rules.”

Nonsense…the potential loser of this race is trying to change the rules in the middle of the game and it WILL cost the party money that they could supposedly spend on the General Election. But what are rules anyway?
