Interesting, Danny. I assume that Ferraro did have a good point, just as people are saying today that Palin wouldn't be in the slot she's in today but for her gender. I'm terribly impressed with what I'm seeing so far in her and it sounds like regardless of gender, on her merits she could probably stand alone but for the experience factor. Given that issue, it's almost a certainty that her gender is what put her over the top with McCain. I don't think it's far-reaching to believe that Obama's race was a plus for him with his base.
