- The Year of the Woman! The Democrats were going to nominate women to the US Senate from the two biggest states of the Union - Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein in California and Geraldine Ferraro in New York.
Boy, was I pissed when the other woman candidate (Elizabeth Holtzman) continually slimed Geraldine Ferraro's character until both their favorables were in the basement ... and they lost the nomination to Robert Abrams, who then lost to Republican Al D'Amato in the general in November.
Wow. Incessant rumormongering against your fellow party member leading to mutually-assured destruction in the general election.
I can't imagine Geraldine Ferraro being involved in a campaign that did that again...
- The Year of the Woman President! Or the Black President...
Boy, am I going to be pissed?
