    I was 14 in 1984. People were captivated by this beautiful woman and powerful speaker. She was well liked, R.I.P.

    This woman would have been a republican today. She's real. She has passion and she was a pragmatist. I'm a die hard republican and i would have voted for Gerry.

    Thank you for your brave attempt to stop the damage that Reagan and Bush Sr. inflicted upon this world. You did your best! You deserve a nice eternal rest for all you accomplished. Eternal rest unto her, O, Father, and may perpetual light shine upon her.

    @@ElliottAS I didn't compare them, I just said that it would have been nice for Geraldine Farraro, someone who believed that the office of Vice President should be one day held by a female, so much so that she even seeked the office herself, to see a female actually take the office.
