I Will Have It Both Ways, Please...

Hillary will denounce, but apparently not reject, Geraldine Ferraro's have it both ways comments:

• In another twist to the bitter battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, former vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, a member of Sen. Hillary Clinton's finance committee, vented her frustration with Sen. Barack Obama's campaign success in racially charged remarks. ..
  

  "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," Ferraro told a local California newspaper last week.

  "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept," Ferraro said.

This brought to you by the woman who would never have been a VP-nominee if she was not a woman. Her gender was the be-all and end-all to her candidacy. Do any of you think that Obama is the sort of token candidate she was?

If so please call me out on it and tell my why...preferably with some examples from the Ferrarro candidacy to illustrate your point(s).
