As I listened to Barack Obama's landmark speech on race - and all the punditry over how he explained his decision not to "disown" his former pastor, it suddenly occurred to me: when was Hillary asked to "disown" Geraldine Ferraro? As soon as Ferraro stepped down from a role in the Clinton campaign, the issue was considered over. Rev. Wright also stepped down from his role in the Obama campaign. So why isn't that enough? Why does he have to turn his back on a 20-year association? Has anyone asked Hillary to stop being friends with Ferraro? Why is it not enough for Wright to have stepped down?
