From a New York Times editorial:

Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President? . . . Or where is it written that mere representatives aren't qualified...? . . . Where is it written that governors and mayors, like Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, are too local, too provincial? . . . Presidential candidates have always chosen their running mates for reasons of practical demography, not idealized democracy. . . . What a splendid system, we say to ourselves, that takes little-known men, tests them in high office and permits them to grow into statesmen. . . . Why shouldn't a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?

She is being given the opportunity to possibly have that opportunity.....no one is trying to take that process away from her. She just is not going to win this time around.

By the By.....Feinstein is a Senator.....it's been quite a while since she was a mayor. She would make a great Presidential candidate!

About Geraldine Ferraro.

Well, here's hoping the McCain/Palin ticket mirrors the meteoric rise and subsequent collapse of the Mondale/Ferraro ticket. BTW, those who think the "liberal" press is picking on Governor Palin should read the wiki on Ms. Ferraro.
