She was emphasizing his race, to say that his campaign lacked content, that people liked him only for his race. I think that's untrue, and racist. The more the Clinton campaign can paint Obama as the "black candidate" the better they do, Ferraro was expendable, so they have succeeded in one of many underhanded dishonest ploys they have done lately.
