Ferraro Exits Clinton Campaign Over Obama Remarks

Geraldine Ferraro stepped down Wednesday from an honorary post in Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign amid a controversy regarding her comments that Barack Obama wouldn't be succeeding in the presidential race if he weren't black.

Ferraro, one of Clinton's top volunteer fundraisers, had fought suggestions that her remarks were racially-tinged and for several days refused to apologize. Clinton said she disagreed with the remarks, but took no action herself to remove Ferraro from the campaign.
