I think you all are missing the point -- Very infrequently is one given
the opportunity to do BOTH what's right and what's politically expedient
Mondale had that opportunity and he took it.  Ferraro's nomination as
Vice President sends a message to my teenage step-daughter that she too
can grow up to be President of the US.  That's something that we men
have always assumed (although the probability of it happening is rather
slim).  It's also something which we all thought would happen someday,
it was just a matter of when it would.  Well, folks, SOMEDAY IS NOW!!!

Really, doesn't it make you just a bit more excited about the election
this year AND about the election process in this country?

(By the way, Mondale's calculus was brilliant.  He has completely dis-
armed Hart and Jackson just before the Convention.  Mondale can also
turn around to other components of the DemocratIC Party coalition and
say, "There's only one VP nomination and I had to make a choice.  I 
chose a woman.  There are, however, LOTS of cabinet posts. . .")
