I Would Be Remiss

 

...If I didn't take a moment to mark Ms. Ferraro's passing

 

She was a broad, a dame, a tough-as-nails fighter in a region that demanded women be fast and smart. There are three elections I was more than proud to cast my vote: my first, for Carter; in 2008, for Obama (and Hillary in the primaries); and 1984, for Ferraro and Mondale.

 

Which was really my order of preference anyway.
