With a lot of help from his princess wife, Michelle Antoinette Obama, of course. No need for McCain to touch the race issue.

I believe that it will be very hard to take him on other than with kid gloves. I know that John McCain will walk around him on tippy toes. My wife on the other hand dislikes and fears Hillary to the extent that she worries almost obsessively that she will be the candidate. I am glad that Ms Ferraro is not backing off and apologizing. I believe the fact that she will not kneel in obeisance to the Racial police will hurt Hillary to some extent. At least some folks will rally to Geraldine and resent that Hillary's campaign threw her under the bus. This episode demonstrates why I fear Obama as a candidate.

However, had a conservative white American said what Ms. Ferraro uttered, there would have been hell to pay. But since someone on the left said it, it now appears to be a little more "acceptable" to discuss the merits of what was said in fora other than conservative blogs. Deana Hi Bookworm -
