Ever cringe at your grandparents (or parents) when they utter a racist remark? Now you know what Hillary Clinton must be feeling now - one of her surrogates just did something just short of calling Barack Obama the n-word, and even worse, got caught and called on it!
Geraldine Ferraro said this recently about Barack Obama:
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.
What's worse, it isn't the first time that Ferraro has said that - she called out Jesse Jackson for being one of them uppity coloreds 20 years ago.
That's desperation of someone associated with a candidacy that has been full of fail, tempered only by a narrow win in Ohio and a narrow loss in Texas. Hillary Clinton has been unsuccessful at running her campaign, and voters have been attracted to Barack Obama as a fresh, charismatic face uncorrupted by Washington insiders.
If she has any hope of winning Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton has to throw Ferraro under the bus immediately. Hillary isn't necessarily a "Monster", but she has a record of having surrogates and supporters say racist and defamatory remarks about Obama, and has been *very* lax on calling them on it.
