The answer is no.
From TPM:
TPM Reader DS ...
Why is everyone letting the McCain camp get away with saying Palin's selection somehow breaks the "glass ceiling" as Kay Hutchison just did on MSNBC. There has already been a female nominee for VP. The Democrats broke that one nearly 25 years ago.
And this reader is correct. Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 was chosen by Walter Mondale to be his running mate. She is the first female Veep nominee. Palin is second. Notice that there hasn't been and GOP women nominee as Veep. They lost by a landslide to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. But, Hillary Clinton made history with the amount of voters in her race as Presidential nominee that surpassed 1972 African-American Presidential nominee Shirley Chisholm.
Blast from the past: Geraldine Ferraro accuses George H. W. Bush of condescension in the 1984 VP debate.
