• Geraldine refuses to apologize to Obama

Geraldine Ferraro resigns from the Hillary campaign but refuses to apologize to Senator Obama and Ferraro further attacks Obama for bringing up her sexist and racist comments. Ferrero states that the statements were taken out of context. Ferrero's statements are: "Obama's campaign is successful because he is Black" and, "if Obama was a White man, he would not be in this position" and, "if Obama was a woman, he would not be in this position." I think we all read the American English language very well Geraldine. It is unfortunate that Bill Clinton (who barfed out a series of race baiting comments during the South Carolina Primary) or Geraldine can raise their heads up and apologize to Senator Obama, Super-Delegates, and voters for their foul comments. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/12/ferraro.comments/index.html

• Shame on you Geraldine Ferraro

Instead Geraldine Ferraro stated in a letter to Hillary: "I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign. The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won't let that happen." Ferraro told CNN's Suzanne Malveaux Wednesday that she was "absolutely not" sorry for her comments. "I am who I am" (Ferraro must have been a Popeye fan) "and I will continue to speak up," Geraldine said. The former congresswoman also criticized the Obama campaign for efforts she characterized as trying to "block her First Amendment rights." We have heard that one before Ms. Ferraro. When someone disrespects an African-American(s) it is called Free Speech, but if Geraldine made racist or sexist remarks against Jews or Italians, she would not hesitate to apologize without the commonly used First Amendment rights statement that African-Americans too often hear after a racist statement is raised.

• Geraldine remains bitter Geraldine Ferraro has spent the last 24 years trying to understand how the Republican incumbent Ronald Reagon won the 1984 Presidential campaign against the Democratic ticket of Mondale-Ferraro, in the biggest landslide in the history of United States Presidential Elections. We know now that the American voter has substance both today and in 1984.
  
  
• "Tone setting" emails from Senator Obama

Dear Mr. Kirk Tanter,
When we won Iowa, the Clinton campaign said it's not the number of states you win, it's "a contest for delegates."
When we won a significant lead in delegates, they said it's really about which states you win.
When we won South Carolina, they discounted the votes of African-Americans.
When we won predominantly white, rural states like Idaho, Utah, and Nebraska, they said those didn't count because they won't be competitive in the general election.
When we won in Washington State, Wisconsin, and Missouri -- general election battlegrounds where polls show Barack is a stronger candidate against John McCain -- the Clinton campaign attacked those voters as "latte-sipping" elitists.
And now that we've won more than twice as many states, the Clinton spin is that only certain states really count.
But the facts are clear.
For all their attempts to discount, distract, and distort, we have won more delegates, more states, and more votes.
Thank you for your support and for everything you've done to build a movement that is engaging voters and winning contests in every part of this country.

David Plouffe -- Campaign Manager, Obama for America


Mr. Kirk Tanter --

It's tough to think of two states more different than Wyoming and Mississippi.
But we won Wyoming on Saturday, and we just learned that we won Mississippi by a large margin tonight.
Between those two states, we picked up enough delegates to erase the gains by Senator Clinton last Tuesday and add to our substantial lead in earned delegates. And in doing so we showed the strength and breadth of this movement.
But just turn on the news and you'll see that Senator Clinton continues to run an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day her campaign launches a new set of desperate attacks.
They're not just attacking me; they're attacking you.
Over the weekend, an aide to Senator Clinton attempted to diminish the overwhelming number of contests we've won by referring to places we've prevailed as "boutique" states and our supporters as the "latte-sipping crowd."
I'm not sure how those terms apply to Mississippi and Wyoming -- or Virginia, Iowa, Louisiana, or Idaho for that matter.
I know that our victories in all of these states demonstrate a rejection of this kind of petty, divisive campaigning.
But the fact remains that Senator Clinton's campaign will continue to attack us using the same old Washington playbook. And now that John McCain is the Republican nominee, we are forced to campaign on two fronts.
It's up to you to fight back. Please make a donation of $25 today:
