Geraldine Ferraro is resigning her fundraising position with Senator Clinton’s campaign after her controversial comments about Barack Obama’s campaign. She wrote a letter to Clinton stating “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”. She believes that the Obama campaign will go at all costs to hurt Clinton’s campaign, and Ferraro resignation will eliminate at least one target they can attack.
What caused all this controversy was that Ferraro stated that the reasoning being Obama’s successful campaign is because he is black. Although she refused to apologize for her comment, she said she has every right to be who she is and say what she thinks, but she does regret hurting Clinton’s campaign. Clinton has taken the stance that Ferraro’s opinion is not her own, but that Ferraro was speaking for herself and has the right to express her thoughts.
