Based on what Ferraro said recently and what she has said historically, she is clearly a racist and although it may not be accurate to say that the Clinton camp has had an "insidious pattern" they have brought it up before, notably when Bill Clinton compared this campaign to that of Jesse Jackson. To say that the only reason Obama is where he is in this race is because he's black is just ridiculous. If anything, were he a white male, he'd be doing better and the delegates would already be won. He'd be on his way to the convention. Clinton did not even reprimand that stupid woman for her words and just gave some lame response that the remarks were "regrettable." I don't agree that there are not people who will say that a black man wouldn't make a capable president. There are and there will be. There are even polls that were done that show that the only reason people voted for Hillary is that Barack is black... that says it all.
