This report, by Ken Owen, aired on Indianapolis independent station WPDS / Channel 59. The piece includes comments from Indiana officials, including John Livengood, the head of the state's Democratic Party, Ann DeLaney, and IUPUI Pollster Brian Vargus. Ferraro became the first woman tapped to be a vice presidential running mate in American political history.
