The last female candidate

I talked before about how strange I found it that when a credible woman candidate stood for president, suddenly, out of nowhere, comes this charismatic black candidate who opposes her.

I'm still not over it.

Here's a link with Geraldine Ferraro talking about this:

Frankly, reading between the lines, she is not very happy about how things have gone either. She's backing Obama because she has to. I like how she doesn't slag off Palin, and sympathises that she wasn't properly used by McCain's team. 

Post election: this article nails it, in my opinion.
