Jonathan Kay: For Clinton, Ferraro’s gambit and flameout was win-win

I just got this message from a friend. I think he’s got it bang-on:

Ferraro just resigned from the Clinton campaign. Ferraro stuck to her guns, but in the end Hillary had to give her the axe. For Hillary, forcing Ferraro to step down after a day or so elapsed was a win-win-win, since (i) Hillary appears to be tough on those who lay “low blows” on Obama (not that I think that it was a low blow, but many in the media obviously did), (ii) it forces the media to rehash the “Obama-wouldn’t-even-be-running-if-he-weren’t-a-black-male” argument one more time, making sure that more people hear it, and (iii) the Spitzer thingy is no longer the most recent political story, and Hillary would obviously welcome anything that reduces the prominence of the Spitzer story (and the unavoidable mention of Spitzer supporting Hillary).
