(CNN) — Geraldine Ferraro, the outspoken former Democratic vice presidential candidate and a supporter of Hillary Clinton's White House bid, told the New York Times she may not vote for Barack Obama should he be the party's nominee.
Ferraro, a former member of Clinton's finance committee who resigned that post earlier this year after making comments many viewed as racially offensive, also said she thinks the Illinois senator has been "terribly sexist" over the course of the presidential campaign.
The comments appear to underscore the potential difficulty Obama may have courting some women voters in the fall — many of whom have said they feel a solidarity with the New York senator over the barriers Clinton faces in her bid to become the first female president.

Given that her chief claim to fame is being one half of the ticket that suffered the 2nd-worst electoral ass-whupping in American political history (the worst was 1936, in case you were wondering), I wouldn't assign too much weight to her embittered opinion. Oh, I think she was in a Pepsi commercial too.
