During the 1984 race there was some controversy over Ferraro's husband's business interests.
In 1999, she showed what a good liberal Democrat she is by signing on as a commentator for Fox News. During the 2008 Presidential Election, she supported Hillary Clinton. When Barack Obama took the lead for the Democratic nomination, Ferraro said that if he were a white man or a black woman, he would have been in the lead.[citation needed]
