With that out of the way, who shall it be this time?

The accomplished, but boring one who did fortunately make a good point about Wendy's?

Or the first woman on any side of the big ticket?

Your choose.

[Mr. Smith]

This is probably one of the few cases besides Republicans where I'll vote for Mondale.

I'll note that Ferraro is easily the best of the three women put onto the ticket, but that's not enough to save her this time.
