Geraldine Ferraro dies at 75 - Politics - More politics - msnbc.com

A groundbreaking lady in many ways R.I.P.

She was a trailblazer in more ways than one. RIP.

I met her once...smart woman. Once was enough in the major spotlight for her given the gruelling experience of a Presidential race but she was in the right spot at the right time and got a lucky phone call, much the same way Palin did. Mondale was throwing a 'Hail Mary' pass to get some edge on Reagan in 1984 and, if it failed, would still have some historical milestone and effect behind his race. He still got clobbered, but he did make history with that move and so did she, thereby giving a losing ticket a big and memorable achievement as a social win for the country. People remember the firsts and when it's a good one, all the better. RIP Gerry.

I must admit I didn't know much about her. . . which in politics is generally a positive thing (no scandals, no disastrous history).
But as a ground breaking female politician, I am sorry she is gone.

sad loss..

Does it seem wrong to anyone else that shes only being remembered by the media for being the first woman to lose a VP election? She must have done something else in her life.

May she rest in peace.
She was a wonderful news consultant recently employed at FOX news.

How about looking at it as the first woman chosen to be on a major party ticket as VP.

Same thing. But thats all Im seeing about her. As if thats is the best thing shes done in her life, to get picked by someone else.

What a shame--the last time I saw her--recently--she looked good. This cancer must have come on very fast. At any rate--even though I mostly disagreed with her policy positions--I sure enjoyed hearing her comments.

May God bless her and her family.

ahoy Jviehe,

i don't think thats how most folks remember her, matey. to be the first lass named to a party's ticket be significant. really, to be remembered fer anythin', be it good or bad, be hard thing to do.

it would be interestin' to see, fer example, what political blogs shall note yer passin', many decades from now.

*pinches both 'o Jviehe's cheeks playfully*

i wish ye a long, long life matey.
