Why didn't Geraldine Ferraro run for the democratic presidential nomination in 1988? History shows some former VP candidates run whether successful or not.

I'm sure she would have run if she thought she could win.

A VP candidate connected to a virtual electoral wipeout?

It's kind of hard to campaign for President when your husband's been indicted.

^ This. And, I might add, when you're connected to the worst presidential campaign in the history of modern elections in terms of Electoral Vote count.

She might have some sort of Obama-like appeal as the first _________ to have a serious shot at the Presidency, but she would have only had about six years in the HoE, and wouldn't have been in office for four years by the time 1988 rolled around.
