Subject: Geraldine Ferraro, first female Vice Presidential nominee, has died, 75.

Written By: nally on 03/26/11 at 12:33 pm

According to NPR, I just found out that Geraldine Ferraro, who made history in 1984 as the first-ever woman to be nominated on a major party ticket for Vice President (namely that of the 1984 Democratic ballot, as Walter Mondale's running mate), has just passed away.

How sad.  I remember the Mondale/Ferraro campaign well.  I remember her subsequent Pepsi commercial and then as a face on numerous news commentary programs.

RIP Mrs. Ferarro.

Walter Mondale's "Where's the Beef" retort to contender Gary Hart in that election was classic.  8)

Four years later we found out where ol' Gary was keeping the meat, too.  On the S.S. Monkey Business.  ;D
