She is a negative factor be- cause of her family's questionable financial dealings. However, I think this is outweighed by the ex- citement she brings the Demo- cratic ticket. The controversy surrounding her nomination as the first woman vice-presidential can- didate has at least forced voters to look at the Democratic ticket in a new light.

Neil Smith '85 I feel that she is hindering the campaign because she is creating too much attention and contro- versy, taking away from Mon- dale's ability to show himself as a leader. Because of the Carter administration's weak leadership, Mondale has a need to prove that he, in fact, can be a good leader. The press is concentrating too much on Ferraro, rather than identifying Mondale's needed leadership qualities.

Linda Bowerman '85 The real question is: Is Mondale hindering Ferraro's campaign?

Michelle Roubat '86 I think it's a combination of both because, in the beginning, she brought a lot of excitement to the Democratic ticket. But with the recent flip-flops on the disclosure of her husband's financial state- ments, she's just made it easier for people to find fault with her.nom- ination. So right now, I feel that after the initial excitement of the nomination of a woman for vice president on the Democratic ticket dies down, what it will all come down to is the individual candi- dates' qualifications as -leaders, and not as men and women.
