Not at all . . . Personally I think Ferraro was right and I'm glad someone finally said it.How badly has Geraldine Ferraro hurt the Hillary campaign?
It was a shrewd move by Hillary actually. Blacks aren't going to vote for her anyway, so she might as well try to fire up the rest of the party.How badly has Geraldine Ferraro hurt the Hillary campaign?
Geraldine Ferraro is a bitter old bag that her foiled attempt at running for the white house ended in a rout, so she can't deal with the fact that Obama might win the Presidency.
Bad. She told the truth.
I think it was the last nail in the coffin for Hillary regaining any Black voters. Even if she gets the nomination, there are many Blacks who will remember all this and not vote for her in November.
Blacks make up a large percentage of democratic voters. She won't win the White House unless she can win back their support.
I don't know if she hurt the Clintons but she sure made a fool of herself.
Not much at all. This will all blow over in a week when the media finds something else to blow entirely out of proportion.
Besides, she not only made statments about Obama's minority status helping his candidacy, she said the same thing about hillary. And that is why she resigned....she pissed off Hillary.
I think it opened some eyes.
Not at all actually the Obama campaign is hurting itself, people are going to get tired of the old race card after awhile and it will turn a certain voter block against the Obama campaign, not everything related to race is racist just because someone doesn't like it.~
She hasn't.
Hillary's camp exposed Obama playing the race card when he called Ferraro a racist and Hillary had her day in public favoritism when she threw Ferraro under the bus.
The person who was hurt was Ferraro who has become a victim of her own party's policies, namely affirmative action, PC (anti first amendment) politics, and quotas.
It astounds me to see people blame Obama for ';playing the race card'; when it was one of Hillary's top fund raisers who basically said ';he's only here b/c he's black.'; People seem to forget that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Alan Keyes have all run for President and never got the support that Obama has.
Obama didn't bring this up. Ferraro did. Yet she's trying to blame HIM for playing the race card? I'm a tad confused.
Honestly I don't think this issue hurt Hillary's campaign too much though. She's already shown that her campaign is filled with people who will lie, cheat %26amp; steal to get her the nomination. She's used shady tactics all along. Anybody who hasn't realized it by now, never will.
But it will turn many black voters off to Hillary. If she somehow happened to win the nomination, I would not vote for her. Not because I think she's a racist (I don't), but because she's proven to either be a terrible campaign manager or a very shady and conniving individual. Either way, I do not trust her to run my country.
She hasn't. Hillary has said herself she does not agree with her. By tomorrow you won't hear about Ferraro any more, old news.
Not at all. Those who were supporting the Hill still are. Ferraro spoke the truth and probably helped Hillary.
She hasn't. I think it hurts the Obama campaign considering they were the ones to point it out to the MSM. People are getting tired of the race card being played by his campaign. David Axlerod is a tool.
she helped the campaign. they put her up to it. The plan is to take the debate away from issues...where obama was beating her, and into the arena of pitting whites against blacks and women against men. they themselves have called this the kitchen sink strategy. Unfortunately, it works, at least in the short term. But I am hopeful that americans will open their eyes and see who the good guy is here and who is the bad guy.
Not at all.
The Obama campaign has been using race since day one.
Before the South Carolina primary Obama had a strong hold on 90% of the black vote.
Obama becomes the big loser. He cannot beat McCain with the Africa American vote and white liberal Democrats. Obama needs to win more states than Kerry %26amp; that's not going to happen.
The Democratic primary process of caucuses and proportional voting will result in a McCain victory. I don't like that but that is what Obama will be doing to the party!
It will take some time to see what the fall out is. Or it might just be viewed as another calculation to divide, alienate and conquer. By marginalizing him based on his color, it can be the message they hope will resonate with the lower income, non college educated older white voters that make up the '; Alabama in between'; demographic in PA.
She did not tell the truth. I want to see how you can spin the below as being ';lucky';
He was called names because of his name, because he is bi-racial. He has been smeared with false rumors and innuendos as to his patriotism and his religion. His mother had been on food stamps for short periods of time when he had been a child and raised him as a single mother, while going to Graduate school. He had to be under Secret Service Protection long before anyone else in the race, except for Hillary, because of his race. He has had death threats because of ignorance and has an article which is cited almost daily that he is going to be assassinated. If that is lucky, I would not want any part of it.
Edited to add:
Obama never called Geraldine Ferraro a racist. He just said her comments were absurd.
Hmm... Its hard to say. The Clinton campaign severed ties with her which was smart... but they seemed to take their time doing it.
I don't think that Ferraro is a racist but what she said implied that Obama supporters were naive and that Obama's candidacy was trendy whereas Clinton's campaign support was from well-thought voters. This was a stupid thing to say because it could alienate the base of Obama if he lost the nomination and Hillary won it.
If Obama's supporters see Ferraro's comments as shared by Clinton's thinking then it could do a lot of damage. This is a fragile time for the Democratic party having 2 candidates who apparently don't like each other. If their dislike of each other spill out to their supporters then it will affect voter turn-out for either of them.
Obama's response to it was excellent... he intelligently diffused the perception that Ferraro was a racist. He didn't appear like a victim but he questioned her the logic and irresponsibility of her words. I think it helped Obama more than it hurt Hillary. I think Hillary handled it okay... but time will tell if it will hurt her.
Actually... it's helped because Obama reacted very strong to Ferraro.. then when his preacher gets up and makes all of these horribly racist remarks he just tries to play it down. Makes him look like a hypocrite.
Hardly at all, if at all.
Seems to this supporter of Obama that Ferraro is NOT the same person as Clinton, and what she said is not relevant.
Not at all....that was used as a strategy to poison the minds of the ignorant white voters by driving a wedge between whites and blacks so that white s will feel obligated to over look all the Clinton deceptions and scandals and save poor Hillary from the mean ';N'; words.....Its like the white woman dating the black man.....but yells rape when she sees the KKK coming you'd have to know the ';real'; American history to understand the analogy

Is Rudy Giuliani making a mistake by waiting until the Florida primary to get his campaign going?
It's only a mistake if it doesn't work, but he's a major contender. If he gets New York, Florida, and all the other big states he could wrap up the nod in the open republican party. It's risky, but that might be what it takes to win the nod.Is Rudy Giuliani making a mistake by waiting until the Florida primary to get his campaign going?
Florida is a key state.. All of the Illegal Immigration rhetoric at the debates isnt flying so well with Latino and Puerto Rican voters there. I guess he better show his true liberal colors or he can forget it!Is Rudy Giuliani making a mistake by waiting until the Florida primary to get his campaign going?
I really think so because he hasn't been much of a candidate whose name has even been a buzz except at the republican debates.
Sure hope so cause he is an idiot anyway. He lives in a delusional world of his own and thinks that terrorism is caused because they hate freedom. What bullcrap. He even dares lecture Ron Paul on radical Islam, the only candidate who truly understands terrorism. Talking about radicalism, I think Rudy is a radical neo-con.
he knows what he's doing, or maybe he doesn't
i guess we'll have to wait and see.

Is McCain campaign finally getting around to vetting Palin?
http://strategy08.wordpress.com/2008/09/鈥?/a>Is McCain campaign finally getting around to vetting Palin?
Yes I read this on another site also. How pathetic. What's the point of vetting someone after you've picked them? He doesn't have to worry about that now, the MSM will vet Sarah Palin since he obviously didn't.Is McCain campaign finally getting around to vetting Palin?
There's a few things I'd love to find out about her. Like....has she ever been out of the state of Alaska? And, since she is a member of the Assembly of God, does she believe in speaking in tongues? Does she think AK47's should be available to anyone? Does she think Jesus would enjoy killing a moose?
You didn't think they were going to Fly up to Alaska to do it -did You?! McCain's campaign doesn't have THAT kind of money! Now that She's down here in the States- they can ';check her'; out. This is a Republican example of ';putting the Cart befort the Horse...'; :)
It seems like this has to be true. His choice is so bizarre . It could not have possibly been investigated and thought out. I bet there are some skeletons in her closet.
Seems so, they also missed her oil profit windfall tax in Alaska.
They probably ';vetted'; her closely enough when she was an exotic dancer in Boise, ID...
Please don't bring up these arguments... She has more experience than Obama who is on top of your ticket...
Perhaps Obama should have done the same thing with Biden.
read my name and plz dont critize, but what is vetting???

No. She is thinking things over. Ron Paul is still on the Republican ticket. What would be so bad if she left her name out there. Rumor has it she is suspending her campaign come Friday. Obama sent Caroline Kennedy out to find him a suitable VP. Someone who could swing a few votes without sharing the lime light I think.
The party shafted Hillary, but I suppose the smart thing would be to bow out ....but she followed party line and voted for the Iraq mess and look where it got her.
I would back her if she went independent with a strong VP.
I understand why she is quitting. The dnc is putting pressure on her to unite the party. I'm still going to write her name in when the general election comes around. I just can't support Obama, he too much of a racist to me. I find a lot of Obama supporters to be rude and if they are well educated why don't they use their brains and be decent to others.
So close? To what? It's OVER! Obama has reached the goal post. There is nothing more she can do. Primaries are over. There are no more states. She lost. Sorry. We need to move on now. The fact that she did not recognize Obama's win last night is a sign that she is out of touch with reality and it's a blessing she will not be the next President.
Why is it an outrage? He's gotten the delegates, and she hasn't. There isn't any point in her continuing, especially when she's losing support from those who previously endorsed her. I don't have anything against her and would have been happy for her to be the nominee, but it's time to face reality. She lost.
She has ZERO options left. If saying she quit is easier to accept, then go ahead. I say she lost and its lights out.
Now she will support Obama like he would have done for her. There is a bigger picture people, not just your personal feelings.
Somebody wins and somebody loses, it is a contest. He had a better campaign than Hillary. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.
Ding, Dong the witch is dead.
She hasn't yet.
I'm astounded at the sexism of the ';progressive'; party that keeps talking as if she has conceded, when she actually hasn't. Like saying it again and again will magically make it true.
At least she knows when to say,'; enough already.';
It's about time. One socialist down, one to go.

Who was it that said months ago that he ';promised to run a clean, focused campaign?';?
I guess it is ok to lie when you get extremely desperate. Since his pick of Palin has obviously backfired on him, he needs to do anything possible to win, but to stoop to the levels he has is pathetic.
Also.....who said 3 weeks ago the economy was fundamentally strong...but then.....the next day said we are in crisis.
Does McCain have Alzheimer's?

Can someone give me some insight on negative campaign ads?
I need to write a theme on the effects of negaice campaign ads and what good purposes it serves and should it be bannedCan someone give me some insight on negative campaign ads?
Just Google around; there are whole bunches of studies and discussions about negative advertising and how it turns people off, causes low voter turnout, causes Americans to distrust politicians, etc.
But remember that negative campaigning has been happening for nearly 200 years:
http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/C8510.a鈥?/a>
Another thing to consider is that
Negative ads work!
http://www.wcbs880.com/pages/120241.php?鈥?/a>
Third thing to consider-- it's almost impossible to regulate, as, if there is anything that the First Amendment protects, it'st he right to speak for and speak against political leaders on political issues.
Think about those ideas. Hope I've given you some jumping off points.Can someone give me some insight on negative campaign ads?
Negative ads are offensive to people who have taken the time to educate themselves on the policies and the facts.
They seem to work very well on those who don't pay much attention, and who don't take the effort to differentiate between the policies of the different parties.
Negative ads are generally distortions of the truth and generally very distasteful and unseemly efforts to maliciously malign another candidate or party.
IMO, it makes me question the ethics and morals of the people who commissioned or sponsored the ad.
But I just might have higher standards than the target of said ads.
If you go back four years and look at the adds Kerry and them ran, you will see several types of campaign negative ads. Most don't always '; point or say'; someone did something wrong, but they put it between the lines or insinuate something was done wrong.
In country terms,. we call it mud slinging. The people who throw mud and rocks usually don't have a strong platform so, they reach for something they think will help them.
negative ads point out what controversal or wrong things a person that is running has done. i mean you want to know the worst right?
