    First US female Vice Presidential candidate representing a major party back in 1984. It only took another 36 years before one was elected.

    The poor lady deserved better than to be thrust on that ticket with Mondale to get blasted by Teflon Ron and the Wimp but as haruseldon59 said above, it did set a precedent and finally after 36 years we now have a female VP who could in 2024 decide to make a run at the Oval Office depending on what Joe plans to do!

    She lost my vote with the Pepsi also much less a diet Pepsi. I have been a Coke addict from around age 8. At one point, I was drinking up to ten cans a day.

    A short story: A long time ago, back in the year of Eighty-four, there was this vice presidential candidate by the name of Geraldine Ferraro. At the time, I worked for a fellow who had for decades hung with and was a consultant to the likes of the Rockefellers and Armand Hammer, and who enjoyed ruminating about things political. One day I had a bright idea and asked him, in the context of Ferraro’s candidacy, what he thought of the idea of a woman president. “Ruthless!” was the immediate reply. “Huh?” says I. He explained. At the time, there had been three women heads of state of western-style democracies post WWII, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, and Margaret Thatcher. Each one of them had successfully prosecuted a war and were themselves the roughest, toughest, meanest even, politicians in countries where politics was all but a blood sport. They were more formidable than any man of their place, day and time. Ruthless. QED.

    Anything “diet,” I don’t drink. Regular Pepsi or a good root beer are both okay by me, But “Gerry” Ferraro would scare me….
