Um yeah, Ferraro gave Mondale such a huge boost among Italian Catholics, right? Kerry was an Irish Catholic.
Just want to make it clear that John Kerry is not nor was he ever Irish. He lied saying he was Irish a few times to get votes in Mass. Apparently his grandfather, Austrian Jewish I believe, spun a globe and landed on County Kerry Ireland and decided that was a good name. The original family name escapes me at the moment. I just wanted to make sure that that social climbing $hitbag was not thought of as Irish- the Kennedy's already have that market cornered.
