  1. A milestone at the time. However, America has been regressing with Republicans who are leading a war against women and working America now.

  2. A milestone. But, indeed, the country is moving backward, to something between industrial revolution and feudalism.

  3. I’d say a milestone…She was a lot sharper than that airhead from Wasilla who was the second female VP candidate.

    Don’t underestimate the dense. W had two terms in office. Having said that, I’d love to see SP get the next GOP presidential nomination , but I think the somewhat less stupid Huckleberry (but possibly more offensive) is more likely. The nightmare candidate is Romney; he could actually appeal to non-Fox watchers.

    I count four. Two by Reagan, and two buy, bought, uhm, by Little Boots.

    And Ferraro was a real game changer. Unlike Chisolm, who was black and ran for President, Geraldine was picked by the powers that be to give at least some oomph to Mondale’s attempt.
    Too bad her husband, if I remember right, was a skunk. But, I’m not sure if he was St. Paul himself, that wouldn’t have led Mondale to a victory over a Reagan brainwashed nation.
