Obama has lost women 'with sexist campaign'

Geraldine Ferraro, the only woman to run on a major party presidential ticket and a supporter of Hillary Clinton, has accused Barack Obama of conducting a "terribly sexist" campaign.

I think the media was worse. You got the one "newscaster" joking that he has to cringe and close his legs when Hill talks. Or how about how it's acceptable to use the B word, but you can't call BO anything? And yada yada.

Miss Ferraro, the losing Democratic candidate for vice-president in 1984, said that she might abandon her lifelong party loyalties and vote for the Republican John McCain if Mr Obama is confirmed as the nominee.

"Should I ratify how the Obama campaign has been run by voting for him? I am going to have to think very hard about that," she said.

Some other partisan female Clinton supporters have already insisted that they will either vote for Mr McCain or write the former First Lady's name on the ballot in November, in retaliation for her allegedly sexist treatment by the media and fellow Democrats.
