Geraldine Ferraro.

I was young and not watching politics when she ran, so I don't recall much about that election cycle.

I just know that I've been very impressed with her when I've seen her being interviewed in recent years, and the interview I just now heard was very impressive.

She said Palin's mentioning of her today was the first time anyone has ever referred to her as having been one of the first to crack the glass ceiling. She said she just pulled over her car when she heard that line because she was caught completely off guard and very touched.

When asked if Hillary had ever mentioned her in that way, she said that no, not publically. I found that to be very interesting.

While obviously she's left and I'm right, she doesn't seem to let partisanship cloud her opinions of people as *people*. That's refreshing.
