Former Vice Presidential Candidate remembered as a 'great role model' by a Texas US Senator, Kay Bailey Hutchinson.


I simply can't believe she has died from leukemia at the age of 55.  We wanted to have her longer.  She was a trailblazer, not unlike women that had come before her, she was an inspriration to women of every walk of life.  She was 'the promise' of the acheivements of women,  There is one aspect of political life, regardless, of the party of which women understand and that is the 'void' of influence women have in most venues where they find themselves.  I am not surprised Geraldine is admired by all women and am grateful for that quality.

..."Geraldine Ferraro was one of the great female role models of her generation," Hutchison said in a statement. "In politics, she was a trailblazer who helped make new heights of leadership possible for women. In her personal life, she courageously battled cancer with tenacity and grace. She reached out to others who were waging their own fights against cancer and helped educate them on treatment options and always offered encouragement."...


So, Geraldine if you are listening, I am sure you know there is no woman President yet.  Hillary has abandoned all our hopes and well Mrs. Palin just doesn't cut the mustard.  So, Geraldine, if God had a great purpose for your passing and influence from above is the answer, we will all be grateful.
