Biden Called Geraldine Ferraro for Advice! WHY??

[Heather MC]

I just heard this on MSNBC

Gee I wonder what did she say? I am soo sure she wanted to help Joe.

[LibraLiz1973]

1. My initial reaction was also, WHY? But, Joe knows what he is doing

And I have faith.

[Cha]

2. Or maybe it's a lie?

Or maybe Joe Biden is reaching out to the pumas..who knows?

[Lucky 13]

3. She's a crazy old bat, but she is also the only other female to have been in this situation before

Her thoughts on how his actions could be PERCEIVED could be valuable.

4. here's a crazy thought, maybe they're friends?

[Lifetimedem]

9. LOL... guess most people do not think politicians have friends

She threw a zinger at Bush I my guess is he wanted some advise to avoid that kind of thing

[Barack_America]

5. To stroke her ego.

Which seems to have grown astonishingly.

6. I don't think it's a bad idea. She was the first woman VP and she probably has an interesting POV

7. She'll leak information to Failin through the Bushes. nt

8. He's looking for the view of different women on what they would find

offensive, what he could do or say without a perceived problem. I think it's a GREAT IDEA! MSNBC mentioned several different women, not just Geraldine. What I might laugh at, another woman might find outragous, and he needs to get a feel for all sides because nobody really knows what Sarah is REALLY LIKE!

10. Gerry said he did NOT call for advice

He called to chat about other things and in the course of the conversation, the debate came up

11. I'm Sure She Told Him

"Don't go around telling people 'We're going to kick a little ass in the debate tonight'" (as Bush Sr was quoted before his debate with Ferraro.)
