First Female Vice Presidential Candidate Geraldine Ferraro Dies

Way back before Sarah Palin, there was Geraldine Ferraro, who was the trailblazer for all women politicans to become the 1st Vice Presidential Candidate, Presidential Candiate running mate with Walter Mondale running against Pres. Candidates Ronald Reagan and Vice Pres. Candidates George H.W. Bush. Guess we know who won...
No one remembers Geraldine Ferraro, but avid politicos. Geraldine paved the way for Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton and even Gov. Sarah Palin. It helped Sarah Palin run for Sarah Palin run for vice president. (Let's not even go there again!)
Geraldine was one bold lady. Even though she (and Walter Mondale-how could we forget him?) lost the race, she is perseverant. She continued onward with her political career even though her family has legal (shall we say?) troubles.

RIP Geraldine Ferraro: you were a great lady
